You want to make it act like one.

Now this is an interesting discussion!

That requires standardization among the OSes. They all have to behave
the same way to some limited degree. At present, the standard is BIOS
and SeaBIOS is how we implement this standard. It has already been
done, don't spend time implementing it again. (But please help Kevin
out if you want to.)

As for a new standard I think we should start out by evaluating all
current disklabel schemes to see what state of the art is, and how we
can improve upon it.
