If I remember correctly, the issue was that the commands I needed to load the image from syslinux or grub weren't available from UEFI mode. I can't quite remember what I did in the end, I'm afraid. I think I ended up loading memdisk from grub2 using the "linux" command, instead of "linux16" (which wasn't available), and it just worked (surprisingly). Switching to BIOS mode and booting from a USB stick would probably have been a quicker solution. It was also complicated by the issue that my firmware utility was too big for a normal FreeDOS image. I ended up adding this to the Wiki for that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Flashing_BIOS_from_Linux#Images_that_are_too_large_for_a_floppy Paul
