Hi,
thanks all for the help at end I missed to create a bootbios partion of 2MiB
once I added that the system booted. The strange point is that I didn't find
it explained in any tutorial but thanks to your advice I noticed that entry
in the filesystem menu.
This is unexpected because BIOSBoot only exists on GPT. But Windows
requires MBR on BIOS (legacy) systems, and GPT on UEFI systems. It's
not possible to get it to do anything different. So if the
installation is GPT, that suggests UEFI installation, and there should
be an EFI System partition rather than BIOSBoot.
The fact there is an extended partition, and boot flags in earlier
reports, shows this is an MBR partitioned drive. Those things don't
exist with GPT drives.
