Hi All,
Please forgive the slightly off topic nature of this
letter. I am posting here because I know you guys
have the answer. And it worked under 29, but not 30
beta. So, maybe not so off topic.
I have a flash drive with FC30 beta installed on it.
/dev/sda1 has a 1 M "grub_bios" partition on it.
It boots perfectly from a EUFI bios.
How do I add legacy bios boot to it?
Many thanks,
-T
This use to work under Fedora 29, but not 30 beta:

Requirements:
Fedora 29
Before installing, gparted:
Wipe the target disk
create a partition table as GPT
create a first partition as
1 Meg
unformatted
set the partition flag to "bios_grub"
Install Fedora 29 from a UEFI machine:
"/home" was removed at installation and moved into "/"
--->>> PRESUMED !!! <<<---
The machine was install and booted from UEFI
The machine is mounted as /dev/sda
Install the legacy BIOS boot loader:
Boot into fedora on UEFI
only installs 3 files
# dnf reinstall grub2-pc
create the BIOS .cfg file
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Note: if this complains, you forgot to create the partition above
# grub2-install --removable --recheck --target=i386-pc
--boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda
