9front supports it and will prompt you to choose between GPT or MBR during installation. As far as I know the two main limitations to 9front GPT support are that it can only read (not write) hybrid MBR/GPT partition tables, and it does not yet have a man page. The code, from cinap is in the 9front tree at sys/src/cmd/disk/prep/edisk.c and anyone who wants to take a crack at producing some documentation is welcome to. khm
