The machine I have lfs on currently is legacy. I used to be able to choose  to boot in bios mode or efi but not anymore, it's bios boot only.

My BBS machine is the opposite. It is efi only, there is no option for bios boot. That machine complains about missing fonts and it's doesn't look right but I just hit enter and it boots up fine.

My laptop is also efi only but it looks good and boots up without any complaints. I'm not sure what the difference is.

I plan to put lfs on my BBS machine so I'll need to get that right.

Looks good.
