WARNING! Hybrid MBRs are flaky and dangerous! If you decide not to use one,
just hit the Enter key at the below prompt and your MBR partition table will
be untouched.
Type from one to three GPT partition numbers, separated by spaces, to be
added to the hybrid MBR, in sequence: 2 6
Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): Y
Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)
Enter an MBR hex code (default AF):
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y
Creating entry for GPT partition #6 (MBR partition #3)
Enter an MBR hex code (default 83):
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N
Unused partition space(s) found. Use one to protect more partitions? (Y/N): Y
Note: Default is 0xEE, but this may confuse Mac OS X.
Enter an MBR hex code (default EE):
Recovery/transformation command (? for help): w
Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): Y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/disk0.
Warning: Devices opened with shared lock will not have their
partition table automatically reloaded!
Caution: More than one 0xEE MBR partition found. This can cause problems
in some OSes.
Warning: The kernel may continue to use old or deleted partitions.
You should reboot or remove the drive.
The operation has completed successfully.
