<li>If you use a true MBR disk on a Mac to boot Windows or some other
- BIOS-only OS, and if that disk has an extended partition, that
- partition may show up in rEFInd as a bootable FAT partition. The
- reason is twofold: FAT doesn't contain a simple "magic" signature
- like most filesystems, so it's easy to misidentify something else
- as FAT; and it's hard to positively identify boot code vs. other
- random data.</li>
+ BIOS-only OS, and if that disk has an extended partition, bogus
+ additional BIOS/legacy-bootable options may appear in the rEFInd
+ menu. The reason appears to be a bug in the handling of
+ extended/logical partitions in the <tt>refind/lib.c</tt> file, but
+ I haven't fully tracked it down.</li>
<li>The re-scan feature occasionally produces odd results, such as
ignoring new media or keeping old media that have been ejected.
