Is this true for 
install-amd64-minimal-20110714.iso  ???
My install media of choice now.

If not then I can just emerge the GPT patched grub and 
gptpart during the install? If not, then after the initial 
install and enter the system via chrooting a rebooted 
system and patch grub?

I think this is at the heart of my failure last April,
to get a RAID1 install correct. That and the 4K block
problem on 2T drives. This [1] doc only glosses over
that issue so maybe somebody will enhance the the wiki
document.....

I also intend to use ext4 for all 3 partitions, boot,root,swap;
unless there exist a strong, compelling reason to use
ext-2 for the boot partition ??? ease of recovery ?
