You have the following methods for creating a bootable drive on an x86 system:
If you have set your system BIOS to boot in UEFI BIOS mode (which you can specify through the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup utility), do one of the following:
- Install the OS on a non-RAID volume by using the Oracle System Assistant utility. For more information, see the Oracle System Assistant documentation.
- Install the OS on a RAID volume by setting up a RAID volume with the UEFI menu of the Setup utility, as described in Using the UEFI Menu to Create a Bootable RAID Volume (x86).
If you have set your system BIOS to boot in legacy mode (which you can specify through the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup utility), follow the steps in Using the BIOS Configuration Utility (Legacy BIOS Booting) to Create a Bootable Drive (x86).
