Preinstalled Oracle Linux Image BIOS Boot Mode Restriction

The Oracle Linux 6.x operating system (OS) image is preinstalled on the server in the Legacy
BIOS Boot Mode. Therefore, to used the preinstalled image, you must boot the server in the
Legacy BIOS Boot Mode (the default). If you boot the server in the UEFI BIOS Boot Mode, the
server will not boot the Oracle Linux preinstalled image and it cannot be used. If you want to
switch to UEFI BIOS Boot Mode and use Oracle Linux 6.x, you have to do a fresh install of the
Oracle Linux 6.x OS.
