The docs[0] say about x86 GPT: "Automatically create partitions required by your hardware platform. These include a /boot/efi for x86_64 and Aarch64 systems with UEFI firmware, biosboot for x86_64 systems with BIOS firmware and GPT, and PRePBoot for IBM Power Systems." So it would create biosboot and UEFI partitions at the same time (possibly after a flag being passed) ? Also, does this also impact autopart - should it provide similar functionality ? In any case, as this is a but over my head, I'm adding Vendy a Vojta to chime in on the storage stuff and Javier to possibly comment on the bootloader related aspects.
