Public bug reported:
I did a fresh install of 12.10 on a new SSD and used the installer to
partition the drive. I had chosen 'Something Else' for installation
type (http://www.debianadmin.com/wp-content/gallery/quantal/4.png)
because I had 12.04 installed on another drive. The installer created a
GPT type partition table. When I rebooted the system would not boot
from the drive because the BIOS was non-EFI.
The installer should try to detect this situation and prevent it. When
I ran Boot Repair it was able to tell me I had a GPT drive on a non-EFI
BIOS with no Boot BIOS partition, so it is possible.
