Also, the whole thing hinges on whether the machine boots in (U)EFI
mode and/or the latter is properly detected. If you already boot
using it, then you don't need to provide the answer to that installer
question at all as it is being taken care of automatically:
while :; do
_d=whole
_q="Use (W)hole disk MBR, whole disk (G)PT"
[[ $MDEFI == y ]] && _d=gpt
otherwise, if you know what you're doing(!), you need to answer an
additional question:
[gG]*)
if [[ $MDEFI != y ]]; then
ask_yn "An EFI/GPT disk may not boot. Proceed?"
[[ $resp == n ]] && continue
fi
