rEFInd as shim for booting installion media

[cephasara]

I setup rEFInd as a shim by following: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/secureboot.html

What I would like to do is boot Windows 8 Installer, Ubuntu, and OS X in EFI mode through rEFInd. How do I go about setting up the refind.conf configuration file? I have searched everywhere and have found nothing.

What I currently have:

menuentry "Windows 8 Core x64 Setup" {
loader \EFI\windows8\bootmgr.efi
}

But it fails with "Error: Not Found whil booting bootmgr."

Thanks.

It's probably best to stick with auto-detection rather than create a manual boot stanza. That said, if you must create a manual boot stanza, the usual location for the Windows boot loader is EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi -- note both the different path and different filename from what you've shown. Of course, if you've moved the file, or if your medium is unusual in some way, that might throw things off.
