--- Comment #49 from Efrem McCrimon <efremmc2 at gmail.com> ---
Yes, you are correct, on UEFI systems, it boots from /boot/efi on the EPS
partition. This is associated with GUID partitions known as GPT. If EPS does
not exist on a GUID/GPT system, BIOS set to UEFI, it will not boot. If you
have a GUID parted system and your BIOS set to Legacy, it will try to boot a
MBR system, otherwise it fails.
If your BIOS is set to UEFI, the system will look for GUID/GPT system and boot
from /boot/efi settings.
grub2-install does recognized GUID/GPT parted systems, and can install the
bootloader to the correct path. Grub on BIOS Legacy boots MBR sector, Grub on
BIOS UEFI boots GPT on /boot/efi on EPS partition.
Calamares should report and install correctly on UEFI systems.
