Booting/Building to >2tb drive on non-EFI systems
Issue
When trying to build a system on a non-EFI system (old BIOS) with a > 2tb drive and a GPT partition, anaconda errors saying that the entire drive needs to be formatted.
The following or similar is declared in the %pre kickstart with the clearpart entry removed:
/usr/sbin/parted -s /dev/sda mklabel gpt
Selecting any reformat option option will cause it to fail.
Is this possible to do?
