If the partition already exists (was created by other tools): part /boot/efi --ondisk=sda --onpart=sda1 --size0 --fstype=vfat --noformat Otherwise to create it: part /boot/efi --size 100 --ondisk sda --type#9 --onprimary 1 --type takes a base-10 integer (so 0xEF would be --type#9). The partitioning code underlying Anaconda changed significantly between RHL 7.1 and 7.2 (note addition of --fstype in 7.2). I don't recall all the changes so you'll have to play with it some. Also, note that a disk with no partition table already will be made with GPT. If it has a DOS partition table, it will stay DOS, and if it has a GPT, it stays GPT.
