I was under the impression that the ESP had to be a FAT partition. The small unpartitioned space is for when you are using a GPT partition table with a non-EFI bootloader. Well, it's really unformatted, it is a partition. That's how I do it on non-EFI systems, on UEFI machines, I always make /boot a FAT partition and use it as the ESP too. -- Neil Bothwick [unwieldy legal disclaimer would go here - feel free to type your own]
