I have a system that has an option in the BIOS to choose boot style as
"BIOS" or "UEFI". When I choose "BIOS" I can boot to a DOS partition
without problems. When I choose "UEFI" I can boot to an EFI
startup.nsh script without problems. I can't however boot to DOS from the
"UEFI" boot selection.

My question is: can I set the option to "UEFI" and use grub to boot to DOS,
somehow?

  I've done quite a bit of googling on this question and using this
site<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting>I've been able to
create a grub.efi file that I can execute from the EFI
shell and can point to the DOS partition, but when I try to select it I
get: "error: invalid EFI file path."

  I have seen a few examples of menuentry blocks that contain options like
"fakebios" and "loadbios". I have used the method on the link above to
create vbios.bin and int10.bin, can I use these to simulate the BIOS boot
option in order to boot to DOS?

My current dos boot entry looks like this:

menuentry "DOS Boot" {
  set root=(hd0,1)
  loadbios /boot/vbios.bin /boot/int10.bin
  fakebios
  chainloader +1
}

Thanks,
-Greg
