If the machine complains about not being able to find a bootable medium, you might need to specify the EFI entry in your BIOS.
This can be accomplished either by using a live operating system (e.g. Ubuntu) and running the following command:

efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "HAOS" --loader \EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi

Or else, the BIOS might provide you with a tool to add boot options, there you can specify the path to the EFI file:

\EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi

{% else %}

1. Insert the boot media ({{site.installation.types[page.installation_type].installation_media}}) you just created.
