This is right, but the legacy BIOS is not part of bootcamp. It's already
installed if you bought it (part or the firmware).
When Apple released BootCamp, at the same time there was an firmware update
which added these legacy BIOS, so many people believe, that you need
BootCamp to run any other OS on a Mac...
