9front supports it and will prompt you to choose between GPT or MBR
during installation. As far as I know the two main limitations to
9front GPT support are that it can only read (not write) hybrid MBR/GPT
partition tables, and it does not yet have a man page.
The code, from cinap is in the 9front tree at
sys/src/cmd/disk/prep/edisk.c and anyone who wants to take a crack at
producing some documentation is welcome to.
