Hi, I'm installing Fedora 31 with a kickstart file that contains
bootloader --location=mbr #Same when omitting location parameter, mbr is default zerombr clearpart --all part /boot/efi --fstype=efi --size=200 --ondisk=sda part / --fstype=ext4 --size=1 --ondisk=sda --grow 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: "On a GPT-formatted disk, this option will install stage 1.5 of the boot loader into the BIOS boot partition." clearpart seems to create a gpt on a UEFI machine and an mbr on a legacy BIOS machine per default, i.e. when no explicit disklabel parameter is specified. And indeed: # parted /dev/sda print Model: VMware, VMware Virtual S (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 8590MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 211MB 210MB fat16 EFI System Partition boot, esp 2 211MB 8589MB 8378MB ext4 However, I've not specified a BIOS boot partition in the kickstart file, nor is one created automatically. Does anyone know where the bootloader is installed in this case? Or am I just reading the documentation wrong?
