You have to be careful about the boot flag. The BIOS may requite the
boot flag before it will try and boot from the drive.  It usually
does not have to be the partition you actually boot from, unless
your boot loader is installed in the boot record of the partition,
and there isn't one in the MBR. (Again, this is BIOS dependent.)

You also used to run into a problem with some older BIOS where you
needed a /boot partition at the start of the disk to be sure the
BIOS could read it...
