#371 regex bug in boot-local-efi.cfg
alternative_stable 20210817-hirsute
boot/grub/boot-local-efi.cfg line 48
regexp -s partition '((hd0,.*))' $dev
works only if $1 for scan_dev is like (hd0,...). But the auto_detect blob later in the file (where scan_dev is called) can call scan_dev (hd1,...), etc. if there are multiple drives found. So line 48 must be modified to something like
regexp -s partition '((hd.,.))' $dev
or
regexp -s partition '((hd\d,.))' $dev
i.e. literal 0 to . (any) or \d (digit).
Ran into this bug because hd0 was set to the the clonezilla live USB in my case, and hd1 was the local drive I was trying to boot.

Will use that in the next testing release.

Please give Clonezilla live >= 2.8.1-5 or 20211206-* a try:
https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
If you test it, please let us know the results.
Thanks.

Tested clonezilla-live-20211206-jammy-amd64.zip on the same computer as used for the ticket. Can confirm the local drive (hd1) boot menu option works out of the box.
Thank you.
Great. Thanks for confirming that.
