You can make either work and I have done so. However some bios' will only
boot from one type or the other. I haven't figured out everything related to
this, but NTFS support is one area that seems to be different depending
on whether or not you use a partition table. A different bootstrap method
is used depending on whether or not you use a partition table. And I think
only one currently supports NTFS. I wanted to use NTFS in order to support
a squashfs image over 4 GiB and be mountable on random Windows machines.
