			=== DOS Partition Table - NST 22===
			[[File:Thunderbolt.png\|frame\|left\|'''[[Feature Release Symbol \| <center>NST 22<br /> SVN: 6851</center>]]''']] Starting with NST 22, the kernel no longer has the ''nogpt'' command line option and an installation of the NST to hard disk will ''prefer'' the GUID Partition Table (GPT) when installing to a blank disk. If you want to force an old style MS-DOS partition table, you will need to prepare your disk by hand prior to running the installer. You can run ''fdisk'' and then use the '''o''' command to create a new empty DOS partition table. NOTE: You should only need to do this on old hardware that does not support GPT labeled disks.
