For compilers with support for a 64 bit integer, add support for FAT partitions residing in a GPT partitioned disk. Note: additional flags to kernel need to be added:

  • strict GPT (MBR should be protective only if exists)
  • loose GPT (ignore MBR, i.e. hybrid partitions) *default
  • use MBR first (force using MBR from hybrid GPT/MBR partitions)
    If not GPT partitions on disk then same as current, uses MBR.

How to map drive letters? parameter to kernel to indicate partition/drive is C: and then have extensions to CONFIG.SYS (or seperate VOLUMES.CFG) to indicate GPT volume ID to drive letter mapping? do all GPT then MBR as current or vice versa all MBR as curently done then add all GPT? Should EFI FAT32 system partitions be included, optionally?
