There are more than one partitioning scheme. Any of them can

partitioning drives, they are part of the format. They are not
part of the physical access method. So SCSI and ATA, being physical
access methods, are independent of format.
That's not to say that often by convention only certain
formats are used with certain physical access methods.
It's a little more than convention in a normal PC. If you'd like to
boot, you need a structure that bios understands.
The BIOS has nothing to do with the partition table layout. I have
heard that some BIOS can lay down an MBR, but an MBR isn't even
needed for boot.
