I suppose this is not an option accessible to users in the default
installation patch, right? This is an "expert" option, I suppose...

If so, I think that the sublevel for translatable strings should not
be 2 ("general strings not used during default installs. Includes
error messages and dialogs") but 3: "expert strings (some low priority
features such as RAID, encrypted partitions, etc.)"

That probably deserves a comment for translators as "BIOS boot area"
is fairly cryptic to my POV.
