MBR resides in the first 512 bytes of disk. For compatibility, GPT has a MBR-compatible structure in the first sector too.

WIP
Early port of my old diskmagic attempt in C.
Why create something like that in 2016?
Well, I tried to not, but the simplicity of this is dope... When you see the fdisk parameters and read the docs behind MBR/GPT it looks like dark magic at first glance. But then, when you understand that it's super simple and you can exploit this to make nice things, you discover that the tooling around it is not nice...
Closes #18
