Now you're up and running what does the following get you?
dmesg | egrep "EFI|BIOS"
It'll be interesting to know if your system "chose" UEFI or BIOS mode as
you seem to have left it to it's own devices in the end. People are
starting to run into this more often now with Linux now hardware is
modernising and BIOS is being fully deprecated. It interests me that
perhaps surprisingly, Linux users seem almost universally conservative
on these sort of issues and tend to avoid UEFI like the plague for some
reason. I don't know why considering just how old, pathetic and
miserable BIOS implementations are - I would have thought people would
be rushing to welcome UEFI with open arms.
Cheers
