I just bought an MSI Cubi (a cute little PC).
I'm having some problems so I want to flash new firmware. Without a
windows license. So that means FreeDOS for flashing.
I could not get FreeDOS to boot. Only UEFI options were offered. So I
asked on MSI's forum, and got a useful answer! Even though the forum
looks a little like a ghost town, at least for the Cubi.

The option to choose between "Legacy mode" and UEFI mode is called
"Windows 8/8.1 feature"; disabled means Legacy mode.
(I haven't yet tested this.)
