May I Partition it in the normal way? Both Linux bootloaders (LiLo and Grub, see their man pages) are able to access the harddisk independently from the BIOS (the Linux kernel always did). So you should experience no problem. If you want to be very cautious, make your first partition a small one (50 MB should suffice) and mount it on /boot - in that directory stores Linux everything it needs for booting the kernel.
