Fix BIOS + GPT disk setup instructions
This is about this section.
Currently it tells you to set the boot
flag on the boot partition, but the correct flag is legacy_boot
. See here. Using the current flag results in an unbootable system, at least when using the default bootloader, Syslinux - I haven't tested GRUB yet.
Secondly, the 1 MiB partition with the flag bios_grub
is, of course, only needed by GRUB. As the default bootloader is Syslinux, I believe the examples should be written for Syslinux first. To address this with minimal change, I've only added a note to indicate that this partition is a GRUB-specific installation requirement.
Tested on GNOME Boxes 44.2 (libvirt) using the alpine-virt-3.18.2-x86_64.iso
installation image.
