Hello,
I thought I'd post a new thread on this issue. My goals is to have a single
default partition scheme on a sata disk that allows me to use either
Bios(mbr) or EFI(gpt) systems on these drives. Also the goal is to keep the
partition scheme unchanged (boot;root;swap;'usr/local') but be able
You need to set the bootable flag in the protective MBR.
I had to use gdisk and fdisk to make a partition that was bootable by
Apple's EFI. The proper setting does not seem to exist in gdisk, even
though gdisk can read it (oversight by the author?).

There is another document that talks in depth about the issue,
Thanks to all of you who have tried to help.
Unfortunately, I am still lost.
I just want to run Gentoo on my system, and the new drive is just for
backup, i.e. it needn't be bootable.
I have zeroed the first 8 MB and then I used gdisk
gdisk still notes that there is a backup GPT. I opted to

Since I have a somewhat older mother board with no UEFI support, I
couldn't image why I need the
EFI GUID Partition support
setting for my kernel.
I have
