Is this true for
install-amd64-minimal-20110714.iso ???
My install media of choice now.
If not then I can just emerge the GPT patched grub and
gptpart during the install? If not, then after the initial
install and enter the system via chrooting a rebooted
system and patch grub?
I think this is at the heart of my failure last April,
to get a RAID1 install correct. That and the 4K block
problem on 2T drives. This [1] doc only glosses over
that issue so maybe somebody will enhance the the wiki
document.....
I also intend to use ext4 for all 3 partitions, boot,root,swap;
unless there exist a strong, compelling reason to use
ext-2 for the boot partition ??? ease of recovery ?
