You mean the struct gpt_ent?

That would be a serious abstraction violation, the wedge itself is supposed
to abstract away all persistent storage schemes that could have led to
its creation (and GPT is just one way to get there).

But Michaels question is a good one - why can't the bootloader deal
with all this and pass e.g. the start offset of the root partition
via (optional) boot params?
