Topic: [SOLVED] bios-grub partition, I can't seem to create one.

I am running gparted-live-1.4.0-6-amd64.  I want to create a bios-grub partition, but there doesn't seem to be an option for this.  How do I do this?

Select partition.  Partition > Manage Flags > [✔] bios_grub.

GParted Manual, Managing Partition Flags

bios_grub is just a GPT partition type, not a file system which can be formatted.  (You have to install GRUB 2 boot loader to write the boot code into the partition).
