Actually his *problem* is that FreeBSD sees the drive
a GPT, but other things now see it as MBR. If everything
saw it the same way there would be no issue, regardless
of what the spec says. But if eveyone sees it one way
and we see it another, thats not very useful, even if
it is strictly correct and all the others are wrong.
