Public bug reported:

System Information:
Fujitsu T901, 16GB Ram, i5-2520M CPU 
(laptop manufactured 2011)
Laptop does not support UEFI

The MD5 sums were verified for the live cd image.

The laptop is currently dual booted with Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.04 with
separate hard drives.  The live cd (a live USB) was intended to be used
to install 18.04.

The error message at boot is:
Could not get fio for li->DeviceHandle: Invalid Parameter
Failed to find fs: Invalid Parameter
Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi: Invalid Parameter
start_image() returned Invalid Parameter

The laptop was verified to be BIOS-only.  Under Windows 10,
C:\Windows\Panther\setupact.log reports "Detected boot environment:
BIOS".  Under Ubuntu 16.04, "sudo efibootmgr" reports that "EFI
variables are not supported on this system."

The system will successfully boot into a live cd environment using Knoppix 8.2, 
though it does report an error at boot time before proceeding with startup:
ERROR
Failed to start loader.efi: (14) Not Found
