I have no idea. No sane GPT partitioning tool should ever automatically |
8 |
create a hybrid MBR: it's not part of the GPT spec and if it's not |
9 |
properly updated at every change of the GPT table there's the risk of |
10 |
massive corruption. |

I know for sure that OSX's Disk Utility doesn't create one. |

AFAIK the rEFIt installer just copies the boot manager on the OSX |
14 |
partition and installs a startup item that makes sure rEFIt is blessed |
15 |
(i.e. selected as the active EFI boot manager) at every reboot. |
