Grub and BIOS

My bios is behaving strangely.
When I change *anything* in it, it doesn't recognize any of my boot devices. I fix this with a CMOS restart.
So now I'm wondering if this means I'll have to stick to defaults for the foreseeable future.
My motherboard is a B450 aorus M.
Maybe grub is responsible for this behavior?

What does this mean, exactly? Please explain further.

Have you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#D … _boot_path?

Usually all of my drives and sometimes their partitions would show up as a boot option.

Anyway; turns out that it had to do with partition schemes.
I switched from MBR to GPT and now I can boot into my OS after having configured the bios. Also the irrelevant bootables like my non-system hard drives are gone.
