Spot on! That is exactly why I chose the legacy 16-bit method via CSM. It was a deliberate design choice to completely avoid the EFI bootloader and, consequently, bypass Secure Boot entirely.

By relying on Legacy BIOS, the system doesn't check for signed EFI binaries or block the custom boot drive. It drops directly into the 16-bit real mode, allowing me to do the job without dealing with UEFI handles, protocols, or security restrictions. It essentially eliminates the need for any exploits or moving physical RAM sticks to specialized breadboards!

P.S. I'm using AI to translate my messages because I don't speak English. Hope my point is clear!
