Problem with GPT Bios Partition

Hi Denny,

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.

To do so, this should work:

disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt-bios bootable:1 fstabkey:uuid

primary /boot/efi2048vfatrw
primaryswap8192swaprw
primary /boot512ext4rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
primary /15360ext4rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
logical-1---


Best regards
Kerim
