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).

And, as you well know, HDD isn't the only host for a 'boot sector'.
Floppies can have them, as can USB memory sticks.
