I'm not sure it can be done. BIOS needs an EF00 partition at the start. |

EFI calls for an EF00 partition, which is recommended at the start but I |
| 8 |
don't think it's compulsory that it is there. I have heard of people |
| 9 |
using sda2 as the ESP where sda1 is a Windows rescue partition. So you |
| 10 |
may get away with |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
p1 EF02 partition |
| 13 |
p2 EF00 partition, formatted as FAT and mounted at /boot |
| 14 |
root and swap partitions as you see fit. |

You could try it and see, but I'm not sure it could be guaranteed to work |
| 17 |
on all EFI hardware, although it should work on all BIOS hardware. |
