I have a mutiboot system and use SystemCommander 2000 as my bootloader.
SC does not recognize reiserfs partitions therefore it can not boot one.
I overcome this problem by creating an ext2 /boot and using reiserfs for any
other partitions I choose to employ.
As to the original question though /boot is not on the drop down menu you
can simply enter the designation manually if you wish to create such.
