Is it correct that the parted 'legacy_boot' flag sets the partition attribute
"Legacy BIOS Bootable" bit? And is there any case where it would be appropriate
for it to be set for an EFI System partition?
I ask because I'm seeing Fedora 16 beta InstallDVD set this parted
'legacy_boot' flag on an EFI System partition. But the LiveCD does not. That
discrepancy is a likely bug. However, I'm wondering which one is incorrect. It
doesn't seem like the EFI System partition should have this attribute set, if
indeed the flag sets the Legacy BIOS Bootable bit.
