Before the Ovirt entry on Grub menu, Grub2 displays the config detected:

setparams '(hd0,gpt3)/grub2/grub.cfg'  'hd0,gpt3' 
'(hd0,gpt3)/grub2/grub.cfg'

cfg_device="$2"
cfg="$3"
root="$cfg_device"
configfile "$cfg"

Is there where "UEFI:" parameter must be present?

Sorry, I am a newbie to UEFI and Grub2, meanwhile I am reading all I can 
about Grub2 and UEFI

Thanks

Thanks
