 ## BIOS/GPT
-If using a GPT formatted device, there are 2 options one can follow for
-installation:
-* Specifying a dedicated stage 2 partition.
-* Letting `limine bios-install` attempt to embed stage 2 within GPT structures.

-In case one wants to specify a stage 2 partition, create a partition on the GPT

 ```bash
 limine bios-install <path to device/image> <1-based stage 2 partition number>

 The boot device must contain the `limine-bios.sys` and `limine.conf` files in
 either the root, `limine`, `boot`, or `boot/limine` directory of one of the
 partitions, formatted with a supported file system.
