Thanks! Didn't know about efibootmgr. And you're absolutely correct, of course: # efibootmgr -v BootCurrent: 0004 BootOrder: 0004,0000,0001,0002,0003 Boot0000* EFI VMware Virtual SCSI Hard Drive (0.0) PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x10,0x0)/SCSI(0,0) Boot0001* EFI VMware Virtual IDE CDROM Drive (IDE 1:0) PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x7,0x1)/Ata(1,0,0) Boot0002* EFI Network PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x11,0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/MAC(000c2903c052,1) Boot0003* EFI Internal Shell (Unsupported option) MemoryMapped(11,0xefcf010,0xf42100f)/FvFile(c57ad6b7-0515-40a8-9d21-551652854e37) Boot0004* Fedora HD(1,GPT,e5d13368-bb01-41fb-9bd3-d6af75e47900,0x800,0x64000)/File(\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi) > On 4/7/20 10:44 PM, spike wrote: >> I'm installing Fedora 31 with a kickstart file that contains >> >> bootloader --location=mbr #Same when omitting location parameter, mbr is >> default >> ... >> According to the documentation >> (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f31/install-guide/appendixes/Kickstart_Syntax_Reference/#sect-kickstart-commands-bootloader) >> this should install the bootloader to a BIOS boot partition: > > > I'm not 100%, but that might apply only to BIOS systems.

Always left it off and it works fine on BIOS/MBR, BIOS/GPT and UEFI/GPT systems. I was just wondering since the documentation explicitly says "will install stage 1.5 of the boot loader into the BIOS boot partition" on GPT formatted disks without distinguishing between BIOS and UEFI systems. I guess it's just assumed people know?
