It's possible to create other partition table types in expert mode. 
However, in my experience even an 'msdos' partition table messed up 
u-boot.

It is sufficient to just create the partition table, deleting and adding 
partitions from the installer (manual partitioning) should be safe.

do you need grub if you already have u-boot?
