Is there a way to actually create a GPT partion on a non IA64

Everything I read from google involving GPT is really only used with
IA64 sytem (oh may it rest in peace). The help in the kernel for EFI
GPT even has "Presently only useful on the IA-64 platform". So there
is a feature that is not useful on any other platform (currently), and
is causing havok.
Sure, parted will create it for you if you ask it to. You just have to
do so on a non-bootable disk (as your BIOS won't be able to boot from
it)
