Activities
Acer Aspire V5-571
The Acer Aspire is a secure boot system based on the Phoenix UEFI BIOS.
To get into the UEFI startup menus, press F2 on power on or reboot. The Secure Boot key management settings are in the Security menu and the Secure Boot enabled flag is in the Boot menu.
Samsung 355E
The Samsung 355E, like all post production UEFI systems has no EFI shell, so if you want to use shell commands, you'll have to boot to a shell using a USB stick.
To activate the UEFI menus, press F2 on power on or subsequent reboot. The system only responds to this for an instant, but if you're successful, you'll see a "Please Wait" message at the bottom right.
Intel Tunnel Mountain System
The intel Tunnel Mountain UEFI secure boot test box is fairly easy to get to the boot menu (it's also easy if you don't follow this, because it will drop into a UEFI shell unlike almost any other secure boot system on the market).
To get the UEFI menu, power the system on and press ESC after the TianoCore logo appears on the screen. Once in the Boot menu, select 'Device Manager' and then 'Secure Boot Configuration'.
UEFI
This page describes how to get systems into and out of UEFI setup mode for the purposes either of installing a bootloader hash, or for taking control of all of the keys. For more details of how UEFI secure boot works and for tools for creating and manipulating keys, see

Weekly open steering committee calls; we haven't had one since early december. I haven't had an opportunity to speak to these guys about it.
