Any way around the EFI requirement?

I'm installing on a very old system (late 2000s supermicro) and the script fails with "boot environment check failed. EFI boot environment not found. script requires EFI." Any suggestions appreciated, thank you!

Hi mgrusin,

The script doesn't currently support BIOS systems. However, the good news is that zfsbootmenu does. The zbm authors recommend using syslinux instead of rEFInd for a BIOS system. The syslinux install documentation can be found at the link below.
