With MBR partition scheme that code can be hidden in unused sectors of the disk. With GPT there are no unused sectors. So you will have to provide a BIOS boot partition for that code
"That code" in this case refers to core.img aka stage1.5. stage1 is mentioned 446 bytes in either MBR or PBR.
ok, i may have understand if gpt i must have a pbr ?partition? where "core.img" is inside. i checked at the moment "gparted" (only reduce and then make new partiton (without writing)) to check the filsystem dialog. but i did not find a filesystem called "pbr" (even if pbr will not be a real filesystem partition)
so if i make space by reducing my existing partitions, how do i tell the system where to put the pbr partition?
AFAIK YaST will do it, but the proper partition has to exist. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.3)
