+Subject: Fall back to non-EFI if booted using EFI but -efi is missing
+
+It may be possible, particularly in recovery situations, to be booted
+using EFI on x86 when only the i386-pc target is installed, or on ARM
+when only the arm-uboot target is installed. There's nothing actually
+stopping us installing i386-pc or arm-uboot from an EFI environment, and
+it's better than returning a confusing error.
