[parted-devel] GPT-MBR hybrid

Is there any sane way to support GPT-MBR hybrid partitioning in parted? 
  This is required for booting on BIOS-based machines (the standard MBR 
handover protocol doesn't really work for GPT), but GPT is needed to 
support > 2 TB.

At least /boot should be in the MBR; some "other OSes" may need their 
boot partition MBR-side as well.
