Bug Description

After install the zesty daily image and reboot, the system will complain about "no boot device".

Looks like it's a BIOS issue, but I think it's better to log it here for future reference. This issue can be reproduced on Dell E7250 (201408-15387) BIOS rev A04 as well.

Solution:
1. Go to "Boot Sequence" section in the BIOS, manually add the boot entry with "Add Boot Option" button.
2. Select the grubx64.efi in EFI/ubuntu directory

Also, on this system (E5450), this issue has gone after BIOS upgrade to the latest rev A14 and reinstall zesty.
