Hi,
I installed refit on a new macbook air, then ubuntu 14.04 in dual-boot. Everything so far is fine except 2 things:
1 - I have a spurious entry in the refind menu saying:
BOOT LINUX FROM FAT VOLUME
when trying to boot nothing happens. When cliking 2 times F2 I do not have any entry.
I had 3 entries from efibootmgr -v called
Boot0000 -> macOS
Boot0080 -> ubuntu
BootFFFF -> ?
So i removed the last one using efibootmgr -b FFFF -B
Since there is only macOs and ubuntu entries in efibootmgr -v but still 3 entries in the refind boot menu.
I also reinstalled refind from mac OS X with the install.sh script but still 3 entries remain.
I am stuck there, no idea what to do. I do not even know where the 3thrd entry comes from (since I forgot to take in note what the first call to efibootmgr -v returned).
2 - In the refind boot menu I do not have any shell not partition tool available.
Thanks in advance for any help on the matters.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Chances are those are BIOS/CSM/legacy boot entries. If you're not booting any other OS (such as Windows) in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode, you should be able to remove those entries by uncommenting and adjusting your scanfor line in refind.conf to omit the hdbios option. If you rely on BIOS/CSM/legacy-mode booting of any OS, you can remove the unwanted entries by careful use of the dont_scan_volumes option as described here (search for dont_scan_volumes to find its entry in the table).

Side note, the badge in the third entry of the refind boot menu is a "hard drive" and the icone is Tux.
FWIW, I'm seeing identical behaviour.
