Long answer. You are setting me up for another round of flame_arrows.
YOU should follow the advise you are given on how to solve your problem.
You are "hard headed"...... You'll do well with Gentoo.
caveat emptor!
So "equery belongs fdisk" shows me:
sys-apps/util-linux-2.24.1-r3 (/usr/share/bash-completion/fdisk)
sys-apps/util-linux-2.24.1-r3 (/sbin/fdisk)
"eix util-linux"
Should do the trick I'm assuming you know how to emerge a specific
version of a package)?
Or you can always look here?

more specifically:

Hi James,
I don't want to cause any problems :-/ I'm just trying to boot this piece of
crap of mine so I can proceed with installation.
But I'm out of luck. It could be due to my old BIOS not recognizing correctly
GPT.
I think my only options would be to scrap that GPT and go with MBR, as Alex
suggested.
Yes, I know how to install specific version.
I have tried to use gdisk "expert mode"
gdisk /dev/sda
x - expert mode
a
1
and I set flags: "0" - system partition and "2" legacy BIOS bootable
I try to reboot and still no luck; so I'm getting into conclusion that scraping
the I have to scrap that GPT.
I was trying to avoid as it take some time to do it from scratch ;-(
