[SOLVED]can't find the efi folder in /sys/firmware

Downloaded the iso file from the official mirror, live iso works fine but when i tried installing i noticed that there's no efi folder in the firmware directory but it's replaced with acpi and it's my first time installing arch. Is there any workaround or do i have to download other iso file?


P.S. Forgot to mention that i'm installing it on a vm.

That means you booted in BIOS mode, not native UEFI. It's not an ISO problem, it's a firmware problem.

Check the bios/uefi firmware for your motherboard
