One of these days, we are going to get GPT partitioned disks good, bad,

the "bootbios" partition is automatically allocated. In "regular"
install mode with custom configuration, you cannot proceed until a 1MB
"bootbios" partition have been comfigured. [I am not sure if this has to
be the first thing configured or not.]
So, what should be done with kickstart where gpt is specified as the
kernel parameter and something like:
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=vda
is specified? Alternates:
1. Add option(s) to part for creation of the "bootbios" partitions
or (and better)
If you use autopart, biosboot will be created as necessary. If not, you
must add a line like the following:
part biosboot --size=1
Yep, got it. Works nicely too. I do not know if you can mix and match
but I assume not so I just stuck one on the front of the two SSDs and
the two USB drives that I am using for data storage.
However, I do believe that it would be helpful if the kickstart
documentation had some of the special types of partitions such as
biosboot mentioned under part or partition. Now that I know about them
I will know that I should look for them but it could be helpful to others.
