What is the block size? The only way I could see something like this
working is if the block size was 2k or larger. Then LBA0 with the PMBR
would take up the first 512 bytes of the block, and it would have
0x400-0x7FF to use for its bootcode before the GPT header starts at LBA
1 (0x800 in the case of a 2k block device).
