Firstly this is what my cfdisk looks like. http://i.imgur.com/WtAXxgv.png (this is an example, I have the /boot/efi partition and the / partition here when I actually try. That or whatever partition or type I add/change to experiment) I haven't seen a tutorial or example with their menu like this. On the screen before entering the tool I've read this http://i.imgur.com/9KdfoN9.png but how do I toggle that partition as bootable? Nothing happens when I press b and I don't even have a boot column like in other examples. When I do try it I get an error installing GRUB. http://i.imgur.com/M9XExWy.png And when I use alt+F8 to check the error I see something like this. http://i.imgur.com/c20v9rv.png Where I tend to focus in on "there is no BIOS boot partition" I've tried setting the boot partition as "BIOS Boot" type and it "works" in that the installation completes, but then when I try booting the VM I get "GRUB _" frozen on the screen. Nothing happens. May I please get some guidance here? I really want to test out and get used to Void before installing it on my Thinkpad later. I'm quite an amateur so sorry if I'm missing something obvious.
