4 hard resets just to get to a boot menu with one OS option
or
Access GRUB by default with options for any installed OS
Hmm. Because I really enjoy hard resetting my system and potentially FUBARing my hard drives, I totally lo...l-word that causes flags...the Windows method.

Hoes does it work without boot partition with fully encrypted root? I.e. what goes into the EFI partition that can decrypt root?
