Title:
  changes to the boot order made via efibootmgr are not sticking

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 14.04 beta on my HP Elitebook Folio laptop. Fresh
  install, complete hard disk formatted. After successful installation I
  rebooted. The system tells me I am missing the OS. Then from BIOS menu
  F9 I could manually boot via EFI and got the system working. However I
  could not change bios settings such that the system would boot
  automatically via UEFI. After long trial and error with advice from
  several IRC colleagues I somehow managed to get the system boot via
  BIOS. But it seems that changes that are done to boot order, do not
  stay permanent.

  I was told that my  boot firmware "assumes that a drive without a "boot flag" on any of its primary partitions 
  in its msdos label cannot be booted via BIOS (again, only true with Windows).
