Hello,
I need help!
I got a machine with 1 ssd and on HD.
The ssd shows up in sdb, with the HD shows up in sda.
I could not change from the BIOS the order.
The machine is UEFI, then I guess that it does not really matter.
No, fstab is setup to use the UUID or LVM name so /dev/sd<x> shouldn't
matter.
I want to boot on the ssd
I installed fedora from the lice cd on the ssd. but it does not boot
because the distribution is not seen.
The installer should have created a boot entry in UEFI, can you verify that
you actually got a UEFI install?
Thus, what to do now?
Some things you can check:
1. The the partition table get created as GPT (EFI default) or MSDOS (BIOS
default).
2. Was an EFI partition created? Usually around 200MB and VFAT/FAT32
formatted.
In /etc/fstab it would mounted to /boot/efi but probably mounted by
UUID so you'll have to use the blkid command.
If the partition table is MSDOS and/or no EFI partition then you got a BIOS
and not an EFI install. You may need to check your BIOS settings.

No, a BIOS_BOOT partition is only used to boot when you have a BIOS
computer but GPT partition table (as far as I know anyway).
Thanks,
