Comment (by diver):
According to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface
''Apple's EFI implementation is neither a EFI 1.x version nor UEFI 2.x
version but mixes up both. This kind of firmware does not fall under any
one (U)EFI specification and therefore is not a standard UEFI firmware.
Unless stated explicitly, these instructions are general and some of them
may not work or may be different in Apple Macs.
''

''I've had problems getting gdisk to run on Macs, I suspect because of
incompatibities between the way it's built and the Mac's EFI. (Apple uses
a heavily-patched EFI 1.x that's incompatible with some binaries built for
EFI 2.x.)''
