IIUC, I think any BIOS should be able to do so as it only cares about the code part of MBR not the partitions and even with GPT the MBR remains the same with the partition part describing the rest of the while disk as a single chunk containing GPT managed area. The only problem is the older operating systems (like XP) which don't understand GPT wouldn't be able to access those partitions.
