Comment 17 Geoffrey Marr 2023-10-12 16:21:47 UTC 
Closing bug, this bug has to do with IoT not booting in Boxes/virt without UEFI. I booted in emulated BIOS and got this error. This is expected behavior.
Comment 18 tom 2024-03-19 01:10:17 UTC 
using fedora live Kde spin trying to update from 33 to 39.  Told install process to use existing boot and / partitions.
I believe this is NOT an EFI system.
