[8.0-RELEASE] ext2fs mount fails

[Mikle Krutov]

If anyone is still interested, i've figured out why my fs's could not
be mounted (same thing went on one more of my machines). Disk inside
of it was gpt, just like both on first pc, and after recreating
partition table with mbr - everything worked flawlessly.
