No, if the BIOS doesn't recognize the disk, you won't be able to boot
from it. The kernel itself should recognize the disk, so if you boot
from a floppy, USB stick or CD, you should be fine.

I have a similar problem, the BIOS *crashes* when trying to auto-detect
the disks, but Linux itself has no problem.
