The machine that got archlinux installed on it yesterday has only a bios boot mode. Would efi stub be useful for such a machine? I now have everything set to msdos and on this 3tb drive lost some useable disk real estate doing so.

efistub is an UEFI application, so it only works with UEFI enabled motherboards. If your motherboard doesn't support UEFI, then you can not use efistub. I don't think the archlinux releng mailinglist is for this type of question, btw. I think it's for official Arch Linux release engineering related things. -- Maarten
