Re: [gentoo-user] Re: MBR & GPT dual compliant format

Hi,

If you're using GPT disk and want to use uefi then you can just create one
efi partition (should be around 200-500mb (depends if you're planning on
using multiple systems on the same disk) - this will hold .efi files for
all your systems as well as the bootloader.
I you're using GTP but want to stick to MBR, then you create 1MB partition
to hold the boot loader, then /boot and the rest.

About the 100MB EFI-partition: it's a Microsoft recommendation:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFI_System_Partition, read the "create
the partition" section.
