Reading about BIOS Boot Partition for GPT, as pointed out by turdus, I discovered that the GUID for this kind of partition is 21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649.
Which translates to "Hah!IdontNeedEFI".
Who's the genius who thought this?

These kinds of magic numbers are always fun. My favorite is the string "1AY'" which translates to 31h 41h 59h 27h.
