From 56d3c5a0311aadf5fce9b80ce2420dc4f1ed4482 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Kreger Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2022 13:20:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify disk_label with a warning Turns out I've had two people try to use disk label twice in the last week to infer UEFI booting system. This is not correct, unfortunately. Clarify that the boot mode needs to be set appropriately.
