# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

The manufacturer of the drive puts the gpt table on the drive. Some manufacturers even put a backup table on the last 2 sectors of the disk. In order to do a vanilla install of NetBSD I ended up zeroing out the first 2 and last 2 sectors of the drive. My understanding was that I could re-write the table if I needed to.
