First attempt at a GPT/UEFI install. Instructions in the Handbook say that |
| 2 |
for a UEFI system, prepare the disk as; |
| 3 |
Partition Filesystem Size Description |
| 4 |
/dev/sda1 (bootloader) 2M BIOS boot partition |
| 5 |
/dev/sda2 ext2 (or vfat) 128M Boot partition |
| 6 |
<snip> |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
to end up with; |
| 9 |
(parted)print |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Model: Virtio Block Device (virtblk) |
| 12 |
Disk /dev/sda: 20480MiB |
| 13 |
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B |
| 14 |
Partition Table: gpt |

1 1.00MiB 3.00MiB 2.00MiB grub bios_grub |
| 18 |
2 3.00MiB 131MiB 128MiB boot boot |
| 19 |
<snip> |

And later in the bootloader instructions is says; |
| 22 |
# grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot |
| 23 |
then; |
| 24 |
Note: Modify the efi-directory setting to the root of the vfat EFI System |
| 25 |
Partition. This necessary if the /boot partition was not formatting [sic] |
| 26 |
as vfat. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Does it look like they intend that /dev/sda1 is the EFI system partition? |
| 29 |
If so, should /dev/sda1 be mounted at /boot/efi, and the --efi-directory |
| 30 |
set to /boot/efi... |
