Description ¶
When we make a custom live distro, we may want it bootable with both BIOS and UEFI. And if we are using a package manager we don't want LFS grub and grub-efi to overwrite each other.
It seems we can only install a part of grub-efi (/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi and /usr/share/grub/*.pf2 - maybe only unicode.pf2?) to accomplish this. Not tested though.
Requested by Tim per blfs-dev.

I do both on my boot ISO.
It is worth noting that for BIOS boot for LiveCD's grub has some bugs/oddities, most use the older ISOLinux (Syslinux) as older BIOS only hardware recognizes that better when booting off an external/temp device.
