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 ?
