This isn't a Linux bug, since it's happening before we've run any of our code at all. This is especially unfortunate because said machines often fail to provide a working keyboard emulation at this stage, resulting in you being stuck forever at an impressively unhelpful screen. Older (pre-2009, and some 2009 models) Apple hardware has this bug if a dual-El Torito CD is booted via the BIOS compatibility layer. The lack of labels after the numbers is not a typographical error on my part. Some especially creative BIOS authors have decided that users shouldn't have their choices limited in such a way, and so pop up a screen that says:Īnd wait for the user to press a key. BIOS systems should ignore the image that says it's for EFI, and EFI systems should ignore the BIOS one.
