The location is of course /cdrom/boot/grub/grub.cfg. Other research may confirm this is a firmware issue. The firmware version is EFI 1.1 rev 2 which rEFInd sees as UEFI 2.1. Due to not being able to boot any grub options from grub list (grub boot manager loads but grub bootloaders will not boot) when booted using EFI mode the grub.cfg is when booted using Non-EFI mode. Which is BIOS on this system due to not having CSM as this is an emulated EFI layer!(opposite of CSM which is full UEFI with emulated BIOS) Canonical BIOS/UEFI Requirement documentation explains Ubuntu is geared to use UEFI 2.3.1 as described in the first paragraph of section 9 in this [Canonical Document]( http://hwe.ubuntu.com/docs/ubuntu-bios-uefi-requirements.pdf)
