Interesting! Would you be willing to donate the used algorithm in
some (maybe C language) form which could be called for example by

https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/blob/master/kernel/initdisk.c

I think as long as the kernel knows the LBA ranges where
GPT FAT partitions are, a lot of everyday use cases would
already be covered. Not sure how to boot from GPT then,
but outside the kernel, only a few DOS components would
care about raw partitioning data, so adding GPT support
to the kernel would be really useful :-)

Thanks! Regards, Eric
