it's a BIOS boot partition: it's needed when you're booting via BIOS to an OS that's on a disk with a GPT disk label. If you can boot via EFI, or if you're booting to a disk that has an MSDOS disk label (also known as a partition table), you don't need it.

Can you make sure this is included in the Release Notes?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up!
