The last option - extended partition. Inside this partition you can make
more logical partitions (I've just did it - it works fine).
For the /boot partition - FAT32 ??? What is it. A home user can do with
one partition for Linux. The most reasonable additional partition is a FAT32
partition you can access through Windows and Linux.
