In fact, it _is_ possible, if you use an MBR partition table. I assumed
that znavko was using MBR, but having now finally looked at the provided
screen image, I see now that they're using GPT. I agree that in this
case, a BIOS boot partition is required. I should have looked more
closely before responding, sorry.
