<p>Hello, </p>
<p>I installed DragonFly <span>version 5.2.2 manually on a non-uefi 10-year old laptop. Unfortunately, when I reboot I get the following message:</span></p>

<p>I made some internet research and it seems that UEFI boot should be possible also with non-uefi BIOSes.</p>
<p><span>Here follows an exact list of the commands I used to install DragonFly:</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">gpt create -f da0</span><br>

<p></p>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">gpt add -i0 -s1048576 -t efi da0 # the 512 MiB efi slice</span><br>

<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">but this did not change anything.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;"><br>

<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">Thank you very much for your attention. I am looking forward
