Last time I did an install on a UEFI machine (most of my machines are
too old, and of the two that aren't, one is running Coreboot 🙂),
I found out that if the installation media is booted in "legacy BIOS"
mode, then it can't do an install that boots via UEFI.
IOW I had 3 choices:
- Always boot using legacy BIOS mode.
- Always boot using UEFI.
- Boot the install using legacy BIOS, then manually change the install
to use grub-efi, then reboot into my EFI config to "activate" the
right `.efi` installed into the EFI partition.
I started with the first choice, and then a few months later went
through the trouble of the third which required more fiddling and
reboots than I care to admit.
