For a GPT+LVM combination disk, older bootloader that does not support
LVM, cannot load kernel from LVM.

The patch adds support to read from BASIC_DATA UUID partitions for the
case that the OS installer has installed the CHRP-BOOT config on a FAT
file system.

Makes GPT detection robust
* Check for Protective MBR Magic
* Check for valid GPT Signature
* Boundary check for allocated block size before reading into the
  buffer

You could remove the "<> IF false EXIT THEN true" at the end and
replace it with a simple "=".

I'd prefer if you could write "true|false" without spaces around the
"|" so that it is clear at a glance that there is only one item on the
stack.

Could you maybe also add a comment above the function that it sets up
gpt-part-size with the size of partition entry and seek-pos with the
position of the partition entry? ...since these are non-obvious
side-effect of this function... All in all, maybe you should also name
the function differently, since it does more than just verifying.

The stack comment looks wrong here, should this be:

 ( addr blocks first-lba )

?

I think that string should maybe rather talk about "basic data

You could simplify the above two lines to:

            disk-buf fat-bootblock?
            UNLOOP EXIT
