Hi, Marco,

The system needs to use GPT because any system that has more than 2TB will
need GPT.  Regular PC (msdos label in parted) partition table won't be able
to handle that.  And it looks like that Mac needs GPT too....

About the (hd0,0) to (hd0,1), it means that if you have (hd0,0) in regular
PC partition table, it becomes (hd0,1) in GPT format.  Not sure why, but
that's how I boot it since I can't find anything under (hd0,0) once I switch
to GPT.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the hard work!!!  =)
