It is good to know that Fedora can boot using the standard booting
system.But EFI is designs to use instead of BIOS and an MBR, a special
partition called a GPT that the system boots from. GPT based systems can
for example use more that 4 standard partitions and does not use
extended partitions. It supports several bootloaders other than BIOS.

For more information look at the December 2011 and January 2012 issues
of Linux Journal.
