-One detail this article needs is the use of the pmbr_boot flag in parted (see http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/bios.html).  Some BIOSes (e.g. Intel) will not boot without this flag even if you have done everything else correctly. Would it be ok with everyone if I edited the article to include this info? It'll be my first slackdocs contribution, so I want to do it correctly 8-) +> One detail this article needs is the use of the pmbr_boot flag in parted (see http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/bios.html).  Some BIOSes (e.g. Intel) will not boot without this flag even if you have done everything else correctly.

 +Ruario wrote this page over a year ago. My suggestion would be that you edit the page because it sounds like a useful addition. If ruario visits the page again, he can check whether he would like it different or leave it as you added it.\\  --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2014/12/29 02:59//
