In fact the MBR contains the definition of only one (dummy)partition, since 
it's GPT, like:

[ctor@dom0 ~]$ sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=here.mbr bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512 bytes copied, 8.5102e-05 s, 6.0 MB/s
[ctor@dom0 ~]$ fdisk -l here.mbr 
GPT PMBR size mismatch (468862127 != 0) will be corrected by w(rite).
Disk here.mbr: 512 B, 512 bytes, 1 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device     Boot Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
here.mbr1           1 468862127 468862127 223.6G ee GPT

but this doesn't matter.

I see the 'Boot' field is present only here (when type is dos, but not when 
type is gpt)
