Comment (by jessicah):
FWIW, I've used this MBR to boot Haiku from a pure GPT partitioned disk
successfully, although applying the binary file directly to my disk did
break GPT temporarily (thankfully super easy to recover: parted, rename a
partition, save/exit).
If there are no objections other than making sure that anyboot, writembr,
etc. do the right thing, I'll look into replacing our current MBR code
with this new version that's been long overdue.
Still need to look at making makebootable GPT aware though...
