I was mucking about with buildign a GPT bootable system, and
found that I wasn't able to make an EFI partition work..

However, telling the gptmbr code to boot to a UFS partition
worked.

I've currently got a raidframe-1 partition running on a pair of
GPT partitioned drives, and it boots and runs nicely as a Xen
DOM0 (on a Sun X2200M2)

Yes, this seems a bit out of date, sadly.
