 I mean that though our boot uefi media contains loaders for modern &
 legacy modes, you are not present with the option to utilise the legacy
 mode, despite it being there and available.
 On more modern systems, it's possible to attempt to boot in either mode.
 I'm pointing at our install media because it's possible to boot other
 operating systems which lack EFI/UEFI support using legacy mode on such
 a system.
