You misunderstood as I was too general in my post about partitioning.
I WILL have a dedicated EFI System Partition (ESP) formatted FAT32
marked with the "boot" flag AS WELL AS a dedicated partition with a
mount point of /boot /boot/efi will be the mount point for the ESP. As
far as I've read UEFI booting firmware, etc. does not require this.
It's a Linux recommendation. But I could be wrong: UEFI/GPT is new to
me.
Thanks for the response.
