Maybe it's doing implicit fallback if it doesn't like something about
the EFI boot setup we've done. There's a lot of variation in how
BIOSes behave... :-( If you've booted in EFI mode, then the installer
code I wrote should be offering GPT etc.
When you boot the installer on your system, do you see a grub boot
menu or an isolinux boot menu?
