Description Marian Ganisin 2012-02-28 11:12:32 UTC
According to current documentation of Anaconda kickstart, biosboot partition seems to be mandatory on BIOS machines with GPT on disk.

It may make sense to create this partition by command zerombr, clearpart --initlabel or both. This would be much more user friendly and less error-prone and maybe also logical behavior as biosboot is actually "part of MBR" for BIOS with GPT.
