Nexcom device DNA-113A (Ubuntu Snappy)

[Manik Taneja]

Hi Andrey,

As Mark mentioned, there's no requirement to have UEFI supported BIOS to
consume Snappy. We are working on a generic installer that will be made
available
with the 16.04 release.

In the meantime, the way to move forward would be to mount the device's
hard disk over USB in your workstation and write a Snappy image to it.
