The system needs to use GPT because any system that has m= ore than 2TB will need GPT.  Regular PC (msdos label in parted) partit= ion table won't be able to handle that.  And it looks like that Mac ne= eds 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 sur= e why, but that's how I boot it since I can't find anything under (hd0,0) o= nce I switch to GPT.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the hard work!!!  =3D)

Cool!  Nice to hear! :-)

This is fixed in CVS= .

Ehm, what do you mean?  I don't understand.

:-)

W= hy did you need GPT?  I implemented it mainly because it will be
required when people switch to GPT and because someone required it.
