Check if there is a bios_grub partition on a GPT disk - Rescapp - Documentation
Do you actually need a bios_grub partition ? Probably not but it depends. A bios_grub partition is usually needed if you use grub-pc on a GPT disk. If your computer has both a GPT disk and EFI boot support you might be better on trying to install grub-efi package. If you need to use grub-pc package on a GPT disk after all this option let's you find if your targeted hard disk has the bios_grub partition or not. If you think that you need to create a bios_grub partition please ask to your distribution usual support places. An option to help you to create a bios_grub partition is not on the short term Rescatux TODO list.
