It isn't the bios that does that though; it is the Microsoft MBR boot code. As long as we aren't putting that in the PMBR then it wouldn't be a problem, but since the UEFI guys decided to say no boot flag in the spec, then it could be a problem. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPJsOzAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75zIgIAL+xtcJLM1RJrYuQchYF7/mx MLohNjx4h7rY34sHsgsAI1YgwWPA33yrWcX46JmIGaQJptZEuPqG+pLiJFja9G1o UT5hro0yto9M9AM7+yFdt2TC10Wtzp3JlmQlaGYTQdQ0FsfkdG9WEsxX4j/PQHsG tI4D8BtVRK/x5FUh9GUxhIicAg4gP4iDbUrxUz7tqBHYu/1wV6HYlBS6wTdap3au 3I7dPsIJaU6oo3SckJZb8utuR6PCaeRg1tvlmYVG/Ul9JACGvwclqdLS8O3j4sJl lgybxwXGDPTLpaP9/1AiHi1eSU9Xoyp1IETqKQCYYbETgJX1WkGD7hXjYdLEF8Y= =VIim -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
