No, not at all. The BIOS (as most people understand it) is an x86-only thing. There are *many* firmware implementations on various arm/arm64 platforms. The two most likely ones you'll fine on arm64 boards and machines are * U-Boot (either loading booting kernels directly, or as a limited EFI) * Tianocore (EFI only) You can happily boot Debian on many machines using either. In terms of booting the installer, there are a range of images that you can use for different U-Boot machines, or with EFI you should be able to use the standard ISOs. The libreboot link from Paolo is talking about ancient x86 hardware with coreboot, which isn't really relevant here. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "We're the technical experts.
