Re: BIOS+boot+partition (was: how does this work?)

Perhaps calling it the “bios partition” instead of the “bios boot partition” would eliminate some of the confusion.

Use /boot/ for a /boot/ filesystem rather than partition. After all, it's filesystems we mount. Partitions lacking filesystems cannot be mounted. For the BIOS boot area, capitalize it to match it's being an acronym, and use a hyphen: BIOS-boot partition. It contains no filesystem. Alternatively, GPT-boot-partition. Or, GPT-legacy-boot partition. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata
