So it does. :(
Well, that's disappointing. Educational, but disappointing.
I missed that in testing because the bootable media I was using wrote
both an MBR and GPT labels to the USB drive. After invalidating the
MBR, the GPT still described the location of the partition.
So, how can I proceed with a brand new drive,
dd /dev/zero into the first ... say 4K bytes, partition
it with fdisk, do not mark any partition bootable, so
that bios will skip over it ?
