Not true. Since patitioning occurs alot before installing the boot loader, Linux has already NOT created the /Boot patition independant of the loader. It is at the end of the install you actually choose your loader, either LILO, or GRUB. Therefore I believe the Kernel its self is responsible for the 1024 limitation, or in MDK 7.1's case non-limitation.
