Hi! I have a question that surely will turn out to be very silly but it's been bugging me. In the part of the installation (expert install) when GRUB is installing, a message pops up saying my computer is configured to boot by EFI and asks me if I want to install a copy of GRUB in a fallback location of sorts since I made simple a MBR partition. How can that be if I have BIOS?
>From what I could find browsing through the wiki and a mailing list is that >that feature was added due to there being buggy UEFI systems that couldn't >boot without that workaround in a MBR table. I said I didn't want it to do it >and it turned out fine. My concern comes from the fact that I previously had done a GPT table in another install, but when installing Debian I made it delete all prior partitions, so it couldn't have been some residual config in the drive, could it? Is my BIOS somehow configured to boot in EFI mode?? I checked and /sys/firmware/efi does not exist so... Is it something in the MBR? What could it be?
