To be clear, in MBR systems I only ever install DOS or OS/2 on a primary partition. All other OS go on logicals. Except for one ancient PC that has only WinXP on it (which I did not install), at least one primary is always EXT2 with Grub Legacy and little else, unless the disk is a pure data-only disk, in which case its MBR sector is empty but for the partition table.
If this disk is bootable by BIOS, then its MBR must contain a boot program, at least the DOS/Windows standard MBR program or compatible (such as the ones installed by install-mbr or lilo -M).
