According to Wikipedia and various other sources, the partition type GUID for a BIOS boot partition is 21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649. This is supposed to represent Hah!IdontneedEFI.

The first line is how it's stored on disk, the second line contains the ASCII values:

48 61 68 21 49 64 6F 6E 74 4E 65 65 64 45 46 49
H  a  h  !  I  d  o  n  t  N  e  e  d  E  F  I

If we take the previously mentioned GUID, we get:

21 68 61 48 64 49 6E 6F 74 4E 65 65 64 45 46 49
!  h  a  H  d  I  n  o  t  N  e  e  d  E  F  I

Why the difference?
