Re: GPT and UEFI booting

if one uses it and rewrite the (P)MBR, the GPT is lost (`gpt restore'
doesn't even see the backup copy of the GPT stuff so, fortunately,
I had `gpt backup' before...).

Has anyone already faced such situation and does anyone know how to
remove the active flag from the GPT PMBR without breaking everything?


Doesn't `gpt unset -a biosboot/bootme ...' do the job?
