GRUB goes its own way, just like on DOS labels, and extends this with info about which drive contains /boot/grub/, etc. Otherwise, it can work the same as on "standard" MBRs for DOS labels (same entry point, etc). You might be interested in: http://aybabtu.com/mbr-gpt/ So, setting the "boot_bios" flag on GPT is essentially the same thing as setting the "bootable" flag on a DOS label. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
