It is worse if you use Windoze. Then your boot-partition must be a
promary one. It is also to my information not x86(_64) specific but IDE
specific. If you use SCSI there is no distinction between primary,
extended and logical partition. I have not tried it because the biggest
SCSI drive we have has 2Gb. With drives like that
people tend to use LVM and/or RAID instead of multiple partitions. ;)
Happy Hacking,
