       historically, i've always created a separate /boot partition as a
    primary partition, even when i've formatted the rest of my hda drive
    as an extended partition.

       given that i want to use LVM on this next install (FC3t2, actually,
    although this is clearly not a test-related question), is this still
    the standard approach? what are the options for the /boot partition
    that GRUB will understand? logical partition? logical volume within
    LVM?
