Why did you start talking about UEFI ? For the early stage of booting, there is no difference between MBR-style partitions (it is more accurate and less ambiguous than "MSDOS-style") and GPT-style partitions. There are only sectors accessed through a BIOS call. Therefore, if something makes booting easier, it's not GPT, it's UEFI. > Could you please give a concrete example ? > AFAIK, GRUB cannot use a partition in MSDOS format to store its core > image in the same way as it uses a BIOS boot partition in GPT format. What makes you say that? There is nothing special about GPT partitions, they are intervals of sectors, just as MBR-style partitions.
