The motivation to split off /boot stems from ancient PC hardware etc that required the boot stuff to be on low cylinder numbers. So you made a /boot partition that resides at the start of the disk. This has no relevance with Linux on z/VM (unless you want to do something like a 2nd IPL volume for Linux to back-out a kernel update, but that takes a bit more to do it right). -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
