A bit ignorant of me, but is there nowadays any restriction
on the choice of boot partition?
I don't use LVM (having had some catastrophes several years ago)
and always create a small boot partition among the first 3 partitions:
sda1 Windows (does MS still require this?
sda2 /boot
sda3 swap
sda4 extended partition
I guess this methodology is probably long extinct?
