Hi, I'm following grub2 again after a long absence, so I'm way behind,
sorry.
I have grub2 working perfectly (thank you :) on my standard x86 and
x86_64 machines, but only if install grub2 to a DOS-partitioned disk.
When I try to install grub2 to a GPT-partitioned disk, the installer
refuses because there is no BIOS Boot Partition.
Is there a way to make this configuration work? (I've used gdisk to
convert DOS partition tables to GPT, so far.)
Thanks!
