 ** Changes in behavior
 
+  Add the ability to set the boot flag on the GPT PMBR. This is needed
+  for some BIOS systems that refuse to boot from GPT unless this is set.
+  disk_set and disk_toggle commands can be used to set the legacy_boot
+  flag on the disk.
+
+  The flag is also displayed in a new line, 'Disk Flags:' like this:
+
+  Model:  (file)
+  Disk /home/bcl/disk.img: 4295MB
+  Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
+  Partition Table: gpt
+  Disk Flags: legacy_boot
+
+  Using -m the flags are added after the model name field:
+
+  /root/disk.img:4295MB:file:512:512:gpt::legacy_boot;
+
   Remove all FS-related (file system-related) sub-commands; these commands
   are no longer recognized because they were all dependent on parted "knowing"
   too much about file system: mkpartfs, mkfs, cp, move, check, resize.
