I'm also curious why not to go this way. AFAIK GPT can have a "protective" MBR that does nothing useful just stops old disk tools to not screw the data as they don't understand GPT. By GPT-aware OSes and tools the MBR part should be ignored so I don't see reason why the MBR cannot be old good functional one that can load other boot sector within 2TB limit. Then any DOS should not complain if it found MBR on right place. Am I wrong?
