In the current state of Tails, it is impossible for an hardware boot
in UEFI mode to shutdown properly. Perhaps saying this like that is
easier, as the same hardware can boot in several modes. For instance,
most MacBookPro will boot in BIOS-emulation mode from DVD (and shutdown
properly), but in EFI mode from USB and fail to shutdown. In some PCs
there is a firmware menu setting.
