Do I really need all these?
I didn't read enough about partitioning, but it seems a separated boot partition is only interesting if running several OS. Not sure about the root partition though.

Anyway, I tried an assisted, minimal install from the full iso (which is different from a real Netinstall since I didn't have to install killall this time, for instance).
No encryption.

I found out that grub was there, not showing because it seems it a default behavior when only 1 OS is installed.
Maintaining Shift pressed maded it show up.

An alternative I have yet to try is to uncomment the 2 HIDDEN lines in the grub.cfg.

Still, 2 problems remain: There's a serious delay between the moment I turn the machine on and the login screen.
Maybe it's because of my 1GB of RAM though.

The more serious one is that there's no way (I think) to install grub when I encrypt the disk. I've read about installing it from the live CD, but I'm not sure it's going to be that easy.
I'll look for a method and will try.
