Feature #208: Support GPT

Author: Matthias Rampke
Status: New
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: OI Caiman
Category: Caiman (Installer)
Target version: 


OpenIndiana should be able to read/write and be installed to GPT-partitioned disks. Right now the Live ISO does not recognise them, i.e. GParted shows the disk as empty, parted as unrecognized format. The installer proposes to resize the GPT protective MBR partition.

It would probably be advisable to use the Solaris partition types, see e.g. "Wikipedia":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_type_GUIDs.
