It should do, as long as you create the BIOS Boot partition at the start |
| 14 |
of the drive. It shouldn't care what the BIOS is trying to load. But if |
| 15 |
it's a new system, doesn't it use UEFI? In which case, grubosaurus won't |
| 16 |
work but you can avoid GRUB2 by using Gummiboot, which is even simpler |
| 17 |
that GRUB<1. |

There is so much sand in Northern Africa that if it were spread out it |

would completely cover the Sahara Desert. |
