ok, i hear ya.
when you get to the point in a CentOS install from CD or DVD it will ask you
where you want to put boot or MBR or whatever it says and i think it gives
you two choices. i just got done with an install so i cannot actually see or
recall exactly what it says yet something to the effect of and this is off
the top of my head and i dont know if it is exact....
MBR /dev/ida/c0d0
/boot partition /dev/ida/c0d0p1
and that's it.
i always choose MBR as when i have chosen the /boot partition i could never
get the machine to boot back up on the final reboot of the unit after
install.
does this help describe it better?
