Hi Robert,

The bios_grub flag was added with this commit:

  http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/parted.git;a=commitdiff;h=b65f8e479aac6ca

but was accompanied by no documentation update.

The following is probably too vague.
Robert, can you provide a better description?

Would it make sense to extend this to any other partition table format?
