That is exactly what I was referring to
HFS autodetect added. With changelog this time. Should already be suitable
for inclusion

well, it doesn't necessarily order the partitions in the same way as e.g.
rEFIt gptsync does, but that's because this GRUB implementation gives you more
control! You
There appears to be a small bug there.
For example -
gptsync (hd0) 4 2 3
will write data for GPT partition 4 2 3 to MBR partition table 2 3 4
but also GPT partition 1 to MBR partition 1 (which is actually what happens
now for intel mac.)
And similarly for other selections will write the next lower

Hi,
I have been playing with grub gptsync, on apple intel mac with GUID
partitioned 8 GB usb stick, 8 partitions. #1 is the standard fat32 EFI
system part for macs.
I am comparing with the gptsync utility from linux, or rEFIt gptsync,
currently used for macs booting pc-bios bootloader.
It is wor
My bad. Part of the patch was missing. Here is a corrected version with
sanity checks for 2TB limit and some CHS fixes

Hi,
Compiled with rev 2121, --with-platform=efi but got no gptsync module. It
could be a useful tool for macs, I would like to try it.

Hello, this is a common way to boot non GPT-aware OS on GPT systems. For
this protective MBR is replaced by a so-called hybrid mbr where first
partition entry is a protective entry and the rest contains legal
partitions. So here is the syntax:
gptsync DISK [PARTITIONSPEC1] [PARTITIONSPEC2] [PARTITI
