BTW, I have used 32-bit Linux on a system with 32GB RAM, and it
recognized it all.

IF I understand it, UEFI doesn't need to read the HDD boot sector,
where the BIOS does. I'll know more later :-)


"Boot sector" would be the MBR. I don't know if UEFI always checks that,
even when booting from GPT (which comes after the MBR on disk).

Unless I read things wrong, UEFI doesn't look for or need the MBR.
No MBR on a GPT disk, for sure.
