Comment 2 Yanping Zhang 2022-06-01 08:25:45 UTC 
Launch a 4.11 Edge cluster, bridge the console frontend with the fix code. 
Check on the bridged console. Go to Compute->Bare Metal Hosts page, click "Add Host"->"New with Dialog", on the creation wizard, there is "Boot mode" field with default value "UEFI", input necessary info, click "Create", check the created BMH yaml, the spec.bootMode is set to "UEFI".  Add MBH with creation wizard, try "UEFISecureBoot" and "Legacy" individually, and check the create BMH yaml, the spec.bootMode is set correctly.
