@gozora
could you also review it because the changes are about EFI?

@wdmsde
many thanks for your valuable contributions to ReaR!

By the way, I have a question:
Your https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1853 and this one
are about adding Slackware support in case of UEFI booting.
Do you know if ReaR works for Slackware when BIOS is used?

@jsmeix
Thank you for considering my patches for inclusion.

I have not tested with BIOS and had assumed that UEFI was a worst case. I
do have other machines to test with and will try a BIOS config. Based on
my experience so far I would guess it may only involve tweaks to grub or
mkisofs in the BIOS specific logic.
