If the /boot partition is created in the install program, then install will put
all the files necessary in that partition. It shows up as a directory off of the
root directory (which it is) but is also a seperate partition.
The best way to do it is when in install and asked to set up partitions, then
set up the /boot partition first. I just used 20 mb it is adequate enough.
then I set up the swap partition, I just went with 127 mb probably overkill
since I have 128 mb memory but better safe than sorry :)
Then I set up my remaining space as a / partition (root) , I did not create any
other partitions though many do.
I hope this is of some use to you,
