    Bootcamp does not emulate a BIOS.

    Bootcamp does exactly 2 things:

    1) Repartitions the drive and installs a bootloader to allow you to switch OS at boot time.

    2) Burns a drivers disc to use after installing windows.

    It is true that Intel Macs don't have a BIOS, they have OpenFirmware which uses the modern EFI instead of the 20+ year old BIOS interface layer.

    This is fine, as all versions of Windows after Windows XP Service Pack 2 can use EFI instead. This is why bootcamp requires you to have a SP2 cd to install Windows.

    So, as long as you boot into Windows instead of OSX, there is absolutely no emulation happening.
