I have always recommended using the largest possible size for the 
bootcode partition, 512K.  There is no reason to go with a smaller size, 
the space savings are insignificant.  It is safe to guess that bootcode 
will never get smaller.

I also recommend starting the first real partition at 1M.  This also is 
frequently ignored.

Here are my instructions:

http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html

The wiki should be updated.  Better yet, that section should be removed 
and the corrected procedure shown in the Handbook.

On my Haswell laptop, the external DisplayPort doesn't work either. When
using Ultra HD, I get garbage. When using Full HD, the image is correct
for a few seconds, then the output connector is disabled (talking about
Panel status timeout in dmesg).

What resolution do you use with your monitor? If you're using Ultra HD,
could you please try Full HD?
