No, every disk has one MBR. Even usb sticks. Whether installing grub in any of them works (boots)... that's different.
99% true, but linux supports drives with no partition table. ie. mkfs /dev/sdb should work as far as I know. I admit to not having tried in 10+ years. I like having a partition table.
Oh, yes, you are right. I do not use it because desktop automounts are not happy about it. I think I have seen some usb sticks made that way :-? Ah, and of course, disks can be GPT, but in that case they contain a "protective MBR". Always, I think. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
