[meta-intel] Unable to install the image on the hard disk

[Cal Sullivan]

Generally a .wic image is intended to be installed directly to its final 
destination, whereas an hddimg is for evaluation and installation elsewhere.

By default meta-intel .wic images only have an EFI bootloader, and will 
not boot via legacy BIOS.

An hddimg will have both an EFI bootloader and the syslinux binaries 
that let it boot from legacy BIOS.

On startup with your installer USB image do you get a light gray screen 
with four options? If so it is booting via legacy BIOS.

Are you able to get to an EFI shell? It may be worth poking around 
there. At the very least to make sure there is an fs0: that contains a 
bootx64.efi under the /EFI/BOOT/ directory. If that isn't there then 
your firmware isn't seeing the SSD at all for some reason.

Thanks,

Cal
