Thanks for the prompt reply.

Also thanks for the whole gptfdisk project!  I am finding sgdisk
*very* easy to use for our purposes.  Very nice.

The ONIE source code is available on github:
https://github.com/onie/onie

The files that reference the GUIDs and gdisk partition types:

https://github.com/onie/onie/blob/master/rootconf/x86_64/sysroot-lib-onie/onie-blkdev-common
  onie_boot_gfdisk_type="0x3000"
  onie_config_gfdisk_type="0x3001"
   
  onie_boot_gpt_uuid="7412F7D5-A156-4B13-81DC-867174929325"
  onie_config_gpt_uuid="D4E6E2CD-4469-46F3-B5CB-1BFF57AFC149"

The ONIE upgrader/installer looks for these GUIDs during
installation.  That file is here, and see the verify_onie_partitions()
function:
https://github.com/onie/onie/blob/master/installer/x86_64/install-arch

The ONIE specification for x86 is WIP and it will reference these
GUIDs.  The ONIE specification for powerpc (which does not use GPT) is
available here:
http://onie.github.io/onie/docs/design-spec/index.html

Cheers,
