Sure. Whatever.
You can create 'em ahead of time,
create 'em on the first install, or
create 'em as you go (just leave the end of the disk un-paritioned on
the first install).
IF you have the 1024-cylindar problem, though, you'll have to create
all the /boot paritions on the first install.
I'd probably FIRST do a test install on the disk where I had a dummy
empty partition 1050 cylindars large, and install into / for the rest
of the disk, with default options.
If this one boots, then you know you don't have to worry about the 1024
limit; if it fails, then you do.
THEN proceed with either the simple approach or the complex one,
depending on whether you have the 1024 problem or not.
