Thanks Mike for the explanation.
I was more interested if it was possible to boot from the active 
partitions instead of installing grub or another program into the master 
boot record specifically.
It works, so I am happy that it is possible. I'll read up on the role of 
BIOS, the MBR to make the specifics more clear to me.
