<para>If Mageia is the first system installed on your computer, the installer
created an ESP (EFI System Partition) to receive the bootloader
(Grub2-efi). If there was already UEFI operating systems previously
installed on your computer (Windows 8 for example), the Mageia installer
detected the existing ESP created by Windows and adds grub2-efi. Although it
is possible to have several ESPs, only one is advised and enough whatever
the number of operating systems you have.</para>

<title>Using an existing bootloader</title>
<para>The exact procedure for adding your Mageia system to an existing bootloader
is beyond the scope of this help, however in most cases it will involve
running the relevant bootloader installation program which should detect and
add it automatically. See the documentation for the operating system in
question.</para>

lets you set a delay in seconds before the default operating system is
started up.</para>

<para><guilabel>Enable ACPI:</guilabel> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) is a standard for the power management. It can save energy by
stopping unused devices, this was the method used before APM. Uncheck it be
useful, for example, if your computer does not support ACPI or if you think
the ACPI implementation might cause some problems (for instance random
