> You can create plenty more than 4 partitions

I was under the impression that the MBR/GPT (UEFI/BIOS ?!)
bridge/mapping will only work when using 4 partitions or less, because
that's what the MBR partition table is limited to.

>From gptsync's package description:
 gptsync is a utility to maintain an MBR partition table synchronised with
 a GPT partition table used as reference. The resulting MBR partition table
 can contain up to 4 partitions; extended partitions are not supported.

 An MBR partition table is required to use legacy bootloaders (lilo, grub) on
 EFI-based (Extensible Firmware Interface) machines like the Intel-based Macs.
 gptsync is usually used in combination with the rEFIt boot menu on such
 machines. 

I think gptsync is not required at all when using grub2?!

I will try to create more than 4 partitions with the Ubuntu installer
tomorrow and see how/if that works.
