UEFI firmwares.
UEFI and BIOS are different kinds of platform firmware.

If a UEFI firmware does not support CSM (legacy mode), it is definitely
not a BIOS.

Sometimes you must disable the secure boot to enable legacy mode, or
just to be able to boot a UEFI capable system without secure boot support.

Also, be aware that some UEFI platforms have a 64-bit CPU but a 32-bit
firmware, requiring a 32-bit UEFI boot loader. Some 64-bit images only
include a 64-bit UEFI bootloader.

I use UEFI compatible images.
Maybe you can use a separate UEFI compatible boot loader such as rEFInd
or SuperGRUBdisk, but I haven't used them yet.
