On Gigabyte Kaby Lake normally booted to UEFI, its F12 boot menu offers the 8.2
DVD disc in its Plextor DVD drive in both plain description:
P3: PLEXTOR PX-891SAF (choice #2)
and UEFI description:
UEFI: PLEXTOR PX-891SAF (choice #11)
two different options for the same disc. Selecting choice #2 produces a familiar
Knoppix boot screen. Choosing #11 puts a non-blinking cursor on the screen
somewhere around position 30,20 that just sits there, with no keyboard response,
but automatically reboots after 2 or more minutes' wait without doing anything.
This Gigabyte host is able to boot from either of multiple UEFI installations on
SSD or multiple BIOS installations (two rotating rust in RAID1).
