[elrepo] Importing keys to run kmod-nvidia with UEFI

I followed the link and entered the command to uninstall the centos mokutil and install the elrepo ones instead. Right after I rebooted.  But now the ASUS BIOS will plain refuse to boot on CentOS...
I can save my data with a live session, so I don't mind reinstalling centos in time. However is there a way to install centos with the signed elrepo nvidia driver and without having to fickle with mokutil afterwards (and without having to touch my windows partition) ?

Thank you!
