"Don’t do UEFI-native installs to MBR-formatted disks, or BIOS
compatibility installs to GPT-formatted disks (an exception to the
latter is if your disk is, IIRC, 2.2+TB in size, because the MBR
format can’t handle disks that big – if you want to do a BIOS
compatibility install to a disk that big, you’re kinda stuck with
the BIOS+GPT combination, which works but is a bit wonky and
involves the infamous ‘BIOS Boot partition’ you may recall from
Fedora 17).
I haven't been able to find anything infamous about the BIOS Boot
partition but it sounds as if the author had a bad experience at
sometime in the past which has affected their ability to view the
topic objectively.
AFAICS the BIOS boot partition is a rather widely unknown topic.
Actually a BIOS boot partition is not required for BIOS boot on GPT. It
is only recommended or required in order to install GRUB in some
situations. But GRUB is not the only available bootloader.
