Hello,
I just recently bought a NUC kit (D34010WYK), and I'm having trouble getting it to automatically boot with legacy BIOS.
I have upgraded to BIOS upgrade #24 because the fix report looked like it might help, but it didn't.
I have the UEFI flag unchecked., and on the legacy tab, it sees my drive, and it has a label of "SATA: PORT 3: INTEL SSDMCGAW180A4: PART 0 : Boot Drive"
If I try to just power up normally, it gets to a screen where it spins on "DHCP..." for like 30 sec and then gets an error message like "insert the right boot device". I can write it down if necessary.
I have the UEFI flag unchecked., and on the legacy tab, it sees my drive, and it has a label of "SATA: PORT 3: INTEL SSDMCGAW180A4: PART 0 : Boot Drive".
If I double-click on that label for my drive, it asks me whether I want to save and exit, I say "Yes", and then it cycles power, shows the "NUC F2: BIOS, F7/F10" screen again, and then boots just fine!
What is getting saved when I click Yes for save and exit? What is different on that power-up-and-boot than when I just power-up without interrupting with F2 and forcing boot off my SATA drive? How can I make this good-boot condition persist so I can simply boot with the power button?
FYI I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, no other operating system. My partitions look like this (/dev/sda2 is the / drive, 4 and 5 are /home and /data)
