Hi, i forgot to mention that gdisks statement MBR: MBR only ... GPT: present is a consequence of the intentional violation of GPT specs by the presence of a valid MBR partition of type 0xef instead of a "protective MBR" partion of type 0xee.
Further, the MBR partiton which describes the whole ISO image intentionally has partition type 0x00. This is part of the heavily overloaded boot info structure as described in http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/11285.html "The first entry covers the entire disk and is of type 0. This is important, because some EFI implementations are strict about MBR parsing - if there's an MBR with overlapping partitions, the entire MBR will be ignored. Inconvenient. Fortunately, we've got the source code to this code, and it turns out that partitions of type 0 are ignored when performing this check. So, there's a partition of type 0. " One will have to watch out whether these violations, or the fact that MBR partition 2 is nested in MBR partition 1, cause any trouble.
