Fedora Linux systems installed on legacy x86 BIOS systems should get GPT partitioning by default instead of legacy MBR partitioning. Document specifically the `inst.gpt=0` boot option that can be used to disable the new behavior. See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GPTforBIOSbyDefault

One small related nit... |
What warning? I don't remember seeing any warning when using fdisk with GPT, fdisk had a full support for GPT for years now. We are even using it (the libfdisk library, not the CLI) in the installer for some GPT specific things that are not supported by (lib)parted (which is used for partitioning in the installer). |
