Re: [gentoo-user] Re: GPT newbee needs some help

An alternate workaround that I found (I had the same issue) is to run partprobe. It'll find them and add them to /dec whether you have kernel support for GPT or not.

Re: [gentoo-user] Unknown problem causing incorrect mounting and daemons not starting
