It does not. So it sounds like Chuck's trying to do a UEFI install to an
msdos-labelled disk, and that's the problem. Chuck, you can't do a UEFI
install to a disk with an msdos disk label (partition table). If you can
blow the entire disk away, then choose a partition layout that does so,
and anaconda should automatically reformat it to gpt for you. If there
is stuff on the disk you can't stand to lose, then you only have the
choice of doing a BIOS install of Fedora.
Chris, I'm trying to remember - we were discussing something like this
around the time of F19 release, and thinking of changing it. But I can't
recall if it was 'EFI system partition must be FAT32' or 'UEFI system
must be installed to a gpt-labelled disk' which was the assumption we
were questioning. Either way, I'm sure there was an assumption anaconda
was making in this area which we'd found not to be entirely true.
