In Linux fdisk you type P to see your partition map. You can see the
starting and ending cylinder of each partition and you can clearly see if
there are some range of cylinders, below the 1024, not being used by any
partition. If that is so, you can utilize that space for your /boot,
assuming your /boot can fit inside that range.
Otherwise you make sure you create that much space. Linux fdisk can of
course do that like any other partitioning utility, not without deleting
your current content. Therefore in order to resize/move partitions without
running into data deletion, it is advised to use things like Partition
Magic.
