Hm, good question. A quick search indicates that it's more complicated:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/266429/error-file-grub-i386-pc-normal-mod-not-found
look inside /boot/grub
presence of i386-pc directory means this is a BIOS install
presence of x86_64-efi directory would indicate an EFI install
Perhaps check the grub version? But it sounds even more complicated
if you have to take the EFI stuff into account. I have to admit I
have no idea - sorry.
Best regards,
Andi
