If you boot an x86/mac in legacy BIOS mode with a pre-existing non-UEFI OS
installed, you will get the following warning:
"This machine's firmware has started the installer in UEFI mode but it looks
like there may be existing operating systems already installed using "BIOS
compatability mode".
..
"Force UEFI Installation?"
The following patch resolves the issue for me.
