The bytes you already saw are obviously not boot code.

Where do device (or partition) labels reside? In the partitions?
In MBR, partitions don't have labels. Filesystems do regardless of what
container they're in. In GPT, partitions have 72 bytes for a label/name.

I don't, but that commit was in 2012, and the code has changed quite a
bit since then, including the specific block that contains that warning.

The boot signature is at bytes 511 and 512, and you indicated that it is
present:

If these are the bytes that indicate a boot signature,
can they be "null'ed" safely??
Doing so worked for me, when testing under SeaBIOS.

No, they're the two byte block at the 255th block of two bytes.

Again, bytes 0-446 are boot code. Bytes 256 and

So it does. :(
Well, that's disappointing. Educational, but disappointing.
I missed that in testing because the bootable media I was using wrote
both an MBR and GPT labels to the USB drive.

No because every GPT creator also creates a PMBR which includes the
