No, the failure is unrelated to BIOS vs UEFI (my machine boots via CSM and can't find any displays). Martin

Intel integrated GPUs on laptops don't work in all cases in UEFI mode (mine does not). I think it does work (mostly--there are a couple of issues still remaining) in BIOS compatibility (CSM) mode. Is there a way to there a way to roll back an installation if things go wrong? No, I don't think there is one--which is why I keep 2 partitions for NetBSD: -HEAD & _STABLE. -RVP
