Bug description:
Attempting to deploy various versions of Ubuntu via MAAS 2.4.2
(7034-g2f5deb8b8-0ubuntu1). I've tried 16.04.5 and 18.04.1 and end up
with messages in the logs like such:
Looking in the system settings, this system does not use EFI at all.
It is purely BIOS mode, yet the installer is complaining about a
missing efi directory when it fails.
The machine is successfully commissioned, and commissioning does not
detect EFI and thus does not create a /boot/efi partition as it is not
necessary. Watching the node boot via console, it clearly is doing a
BIOS mode PXE boot from the NICs, it is not loading an EFI environment
first.
A search and skimming of the manuals for this model (ProLiant SL230s) shows
that it has no EFI options available as well:
