15 Please bottom-post.

17 The OP wants a partition scheme for both "standard" and efi firmware,
18 so he wants an EF02 (gdisk name) of 1MB and an EF00 (also gdisk name).
19
20 The OP wanted the EF02 to be mounted as "/boot" so it has to be larger
21 than 100MB in order to accomodate multiple kernels (and possibly
22 initramfs "thingies" as they're sometimes called here).
