Comment (by pulkomandy):

 The bootmanager is supposed to work only on disks using the MBR, which is
 also limited to that size.

 We need a bootmanager replacement for GPT based drives. Possibly we could
 skip the BIOS+GPT case and wait for the UEFI work to be finished, as that
 will solve both issues. We may still need a bootman-like menu for UEFI.
