Hi,

during FOSDEM, a user came to the Debian booth with an installation problem
on his Toshiba Satellite Pro N10, where the newly installed system would
boot precisely once, and then report that the boot media was invalid.

Inspection using a live USB system showed that the linux entry had been
removed from the EFI variables.

A helpful member of the CoreBoot team pointed out that --removable would
somehow magically fix the issue, which it did.

Is it possible to somehow integrate this knowledge into the package so
default installations on these devices work?
