I've booted the drive successfully on an older Via C3 board.

I'm now watching it boot successfully on a Gigabyte GA-8I915PC Duo board.

I'm going to try dumping a Linux distro on this USB disk after I get
PCBSD 9.0-BETA2 installed. That way I can try to eliminate the USB
disk as being "funny".
(Although it's quite possible the USB disk is doing other funny things.)

I really do think that this BIOS of mine dislikes a GPT partition
inside an MBR/DOS setup. If this is the case, I wonder how many other
motherboard/BIOSes have this problem.
