.RHEL for Edge installer ISO image can now boot on BIOS VM Previously, when building an RHEL for Edge installer image and booting it with ISO on a BIOS VM to install the Edge system, the image could not boot because there was no BIOS configuration support available. As a consequence, the Installation would hang when installed on the BIOS VM. This update adds support to BIOS, and as a result, boot and install Edge system without error.
