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.<br /><br />in F16, anaconda will write a GPT disk label to any disk it's completely reformatting. If you only tell it to use some specific partitions on an existing disk with an MSDOS disk label, it should leave the label alone, and then you wouldn't need a BIOS boot partition.<br /><br />https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/BIOS_Boot_partition is pretty good.Adam Williamsonhttp://www.happyassassin.netnoreply@blogger.com
