File a bug report for the various BIOS vendors for not agreeing for a commonly used BIOS translation. :-) At least that's what i assume is the problem, though i don't know for sure since i've never really been using booteasy (or any other boot manager, FWIW). Refer to the picture i've been drawing a couple of days ago, if you are really careful, you should be able to manually correct the fdisk table.
