I would like to install OS on a 32bit system that works with EFI (asus vivotab note 8)
unfortunately EFI is not supported by the 32bit installation media, only by the 64bit installation media.
will that change with OS 13.2?
I guess not, so there would probably to do a lot of handwork.
As I understood, I would have to prepare a new installation medium formated with two partitions.
One partition has to provide an EFI partition that contains an appropriate bootloader and the second partition contains the content of the 32bit installation medium.
The bootloader on the EFI partition has to boot from the second partition.
Could the 64bit grub be adapted for that purpose?
But then:
Would the 32bit installation procedure be able to establish an EFI-suitable system?
Or would I have to pre-prepare the disk the system is installed to with a separate EFI partition and set up the bootloader by hand as well?
did anyone manage that kind of installation?
