You definitely need to use the MS-DOS partition scheme. However, your boot partition looks a bit big. No larger than 4MB is what is normally recommended. There have been problems reported with too large boot partitions in the past, although I'm not sure if that will help in your case. Other than that, your partition layout looks quite sane.
