Doc Text:	.Installer now lists all `PPC PreP Boot` or `BIOS Boot` partitions during custom partitioning Previously, when adding multiple `PPC PreP Boot` or `BIOS Boot` partitions during custom partitioning, the Custom Partitioning screen displayed only one partition of a related type. As a consequence, the Custom Partitioning screen did not reflect the real state of the intended partitioning layout, making the partitioning process difficult and non-transparent. With this update, the Custom Partitioning screen correctly displays all `PPC PreP Boot` or `BIOS Boot` partitions in the partitions list. As a result, users can now better understand and manage the intended partitioning layout.	Story Points:	---

Description tbsky 2022-06-06 05:22:06 UTC

Description of problem:

this is an old problem. but the workaround for RHEL 7/8 is not working under RHEL 9.0.

if creating biosboot multiple times for each disk under RHEL 9.0, it will create multiple biosboot partition at first disk and one biosboot partition at last disk and none for other disks. maybe there is new workaround but I must create the partitions manually now.

the old bug report and workaround is still working fine under RHEL 8.6

Unfortunately, I can confirm that the workaround from bug 1956573#c1 is not very well usable on RHEL-9. Tested on a system with 4 disks, anaconda doesn't always show the latest created biosboot mountpoint, but one of the previously created biosboot mountpoints remains displayed instead.
