The installer determines whether it=E2=80=99s doing a UEFI installation lik= e 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 =E2=80=98grub-efi-bootloader=E2=80=99. Did it create an ESP in your case? I=E2=80=99m not entirely sure how it decides between GPT and DOS, though; Mathieu? We should add UEFI installation tests using OVMF. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
