Just one more thing - I'm sure this was the case with 6, not sure about 7,
but I think so - I think the command was autopart that couldn't deal with
GPT, if you're using that. And I don't know that it will understand or set
the /boot/efi/EFI to partition type BIOSDIR (or whatever the right type
is), but it's *not* a normal type.
