If you have a GPT formatted disk, why aren't you using UEFI?
You can still do a BIOS install to a GPT formatted drive. You just need to create a BIOS boot partition (not /boot) which is what the installer should be telling you.
I added this disk to a system that was all BIOS, many years ago, and didn't want the hassle of dealing with this new thing UEFI. The fact that my system would be held hostage to a shim from Microsoft didn't sit well with me, either, though that is probably irrational.
