It's pretty much like on x86, with sector 0 containing a few boot bytes to load "something else", irrespective of a logical partitioning scheme superimposed on top.

You could move the disk blocks down the line (intricate dd_rescue operations) and modify the partition table to match it, moving /boot so it does not start at 0.
