I noticed that (in a case with a two disk md mirror and lvm), the CentOS 7 installer is now placing /boot as the *last* partition on the disk.
The position doesn't really matter. Some old bios needed the boot sector inside the LBA (first 1024 cylinders) - but the partition number doesn't equate to the sectors/cylinders you're assigning to them. So you may want to look at the actual addresses for each partition.
I'm assuming that others are seeing this behavior. Does anyone know why it's now the last instead of the first? (Seems to work, though.)
It should work. My guess is that you may have forgotten to set "force primary" on the boot partition. Again, grub doesn't care if it's a primary partition but they usually are created first if that matters to you.
