Hey Denny, <br>
<br>
Type 4 is 16-bit FAT (up to 32M), I see there's some Microsoft
partitions. Is the first partition perhaps an MBR that was installed
along some previous Windows installation? I only ever see it when I
installed Windows on my machine prior to Linux. Maybe you could do
the following:<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi Denny, <br>
<br>
there seems to be a mismatch of sorts between your
desired schema and what you're actually describing. I am
going to assume you want an EFI partition that you're
going to boot off of. <br>
<br>
To do so, this should work:<br>
<br>
<font face="monospace" color="#000000">
<div>disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt-bios bootable:1
fstabkey:uuid</div>
