I disagree with this being treated as a question. The user has clearly stated that, when ubiquity sets up the target disk, his BIOS is unable to boot it without special intervention in the BIOS options at boot. This is a valid bug report.

Bruce, can you please give more details about the system where you're encountering this issue? The expectation is that, when ubiquity has finished setting up the disk, it is bootable under both BIOS *and* UEFI. This is desirable precisely because of the existence of systems that can be togglable between BIOS and UEFI mode, as well as to support the possible migration of disks from one system to another with different firmware. So the fact that it is not bootable for you, is specific to your BIOS implementation and we would need more information to try to figure out why it is not compatible. In general, the use of GPT instead of DOS partition tables should not make a disk unbootable under BIOS.
