That's what I mean.

If I was going to dual boot I would put linux on a separate drive with
lilo/grub installed to that drive and then use the UEFI boot selector 
to choose which drive/OS I wished to boot.

To pre-answer a question with newer boards at system start you get
the message (or similar):
"Press DEL to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter Boot Menu"
The Boot Menu allows you to select from which drive/device you
wish to boot this time.
