The installer determines whether it’s doing a UEFI installation like so:
(define (efi-installation?)
"Return #t if an EFI installation should be performed, #f otherwise."
(file-exists? "/sys/firmware/efi"))
It uses that to determine whether to create an EFI System Partition
(ESP) and whether to use ‘grub-efi-bootloader’.
Did it create an ESP in your case?
I’m not entirely sure how it decides between GPT and DOS, though;
Mathieu?
We should add UEFI installation tests using OVMF.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
