It just needs to work. It's unreasonable to put the burden
on users/operators. It took me a long time to figure out
why 1) EFI didn't see the partitions, and 2) EFI wouldn't
mount the FAT32 file system.

The first was the result of the active flag being set --
go figure. The second was the result of the partition not
being aligned to a track boundary -- which is interesting
in light of all the claims and statements about geometry
being a thing of the past and totally irrelevant...

I at least have the advantage of knowing the code and
knowing what changes I could try to make it work -- it's
not the same for mere end-users. They'll be stuck and as
such look for a solution in other OSes.
