Apparently, BIOS does not see a bootable device. In the dim past, fdisk
could set a partition as "active", which was its euphemism for "bootable".
However now:
GPT disk labels don't have active/bootable partitions.
Yes they do. They even have two kinds of them.
- Partition attribute bit 2 = legacy BIOS bootable.
It is supposed to be equivalent to the boot/active flag in partition
entries of the MBR. I just wonder how a BIOS would use that, though.
- The good old boot/active flag of the GPT protective partition entry in
the MBR. Some BIOSes require it to boot a drive regardless of the
presence of a GPT disk label. It can be set with parted which considers
it as a disk flag (disk_set pmbr_boot on), or by fdisk by forcing it to
use the protective DOS/MBR disk label (-t dos).
