EFI Partition not ESP flagged

[Karsten Nordsiek]

Hello,


thank you for your hint.

I now have the following config

disk_config disk1  disklabel:gpt  fstabkey:uuid  align-at:1M bootable:2
# <type>  <mountpoint>  <size>  <fs type>  <mount opts>  <misc opts>
primary  /boot1024ext3   defaults
primary  /boot/efi      512M    vfat       rw
primary - 95-100% - -

disk_config disk2  disklabel:gpt  fstabkey:uuid
primary - 95-100% - -

This marks the partition two now boot flaged but the first partition is 
also boot flaged

I am worried
