That is my thinking as well, it should create a legacy MBR table.
IMHO the old format should be avoided completely when possible. Why
should we enforce it?
I think this problem involves having a previous ESP partition on the
disk (at least identified as such by parted), because auto-partition!
currently checks that before checking if the booted system has EFI
support. When that's the case, it doesn't create the needed bios_grub
partition that might have been removed previously.
The attached patch solves that. What do you think?
Happy hacking,
Miguel
I'm about to give it a test run. Unrelated to the patch, but, I'm
building the installer (gnu/system/install.scm) on latest master and I
get the following warnings/errors, although it doesn't stop the build
from completing. is it a bug?
