Hiding Legacy bootloaders

    So I've almost got rEFInd looking exactly like I want, by judicious use of the dont_scan_files manual option. But, I'm not sure how to get it to not show me two legacy bootloaders named "Linux (Legacy)" and "Legacy OS". Any idea how I can determine which bootloaders those are?

    This is a MacBook with Windows 10 on Bootcamp and two linux distros (Pop!OS and Slackware). I think I can tell that the "Linux (Legacy)" bootloader might be on the Slackware partition, and the "Legacy OS" is presumably Windows, but I have no idea what they are called so I can't remove the possibility of scaning for them.

    Any thoughts on how to pin down the location and names of these bootloaders?

    Thanks!

    If you're not booting anything in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode, I recommend you disable rEFInd's scanning for BIOS/CSM/legacy boot loaders by adjusting the scanfor line in refind.conf. Specifically, you should remove the hdbios option.
