Why do you ask?
It seems to me that this is only of archaeological interest these days.
It's very much relevant today. If you don't want that UEFI mess, you need to format the boot disk with the old MSDOS partitioning scheme that Carey described almost exactly, so that you can boot to an MBR. Assuming your motherboard allows you to do that. And yes, I know that some motherboards can recognize the faux MBR on a GPT formatted drive, but that's not always the case.
