Hi Steffen,

I also had this problem with my UEFI machines. Currently I delete the
first boot entry manually, which is "boot Debian from disk".

Totally.

I was thinking of a small shell script that moves the network boot
entry in the UEFI BootOrder to the first place, without deleting the
"boot Debian from disk" entry. I had not time to implement it yet.
But maybe just restoring the original boot order is also a good
solution.

I hope we get more feedback on what should be the default behaviour
in FAI.
