I am going to disagree there--a bunch of people that one sees on the
forums are less experienced, the sort that dual, triple and quadruple
boot to try out new distros.  

Also, as Rahul says in the later email, , it's not the sort of thing you 
should have to figure out in the midst of an installation.  

A simple one liner is probably fine.  You have not created a BIOS
partition.   The system will not boot unless you have one.

Hrrm, maybe two lines.  (Flashback to Spanish Inquisition skit)
