    "Just" creating a GPT partition table on a dreambox one/two without the correct bootloader installed at the correct location will get you HEAPS of trouble!!

    It will actually delete parts of your bootloader making the box semi-bricked and requiring a quite tedious manual recovery using a special SD card image (which we don't offer publicly, but only when required).
