With these values it is not a Protective MBR as of UEFI 2.8 5.2.3.
So it is not guaranteed that EFI implementations will recognize the GPT
and find the EFI System Partition.

Do you have indications that really PC-BIOS implementations are around
which load and execute the partition/volume boot record on their own ?
(As already stated, i only know of chainloading from MBR code to PBR code.
But i also know only of ISO 9660 booting situations. So now i'm curious.)


Have a nice day :)
