Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you need /boot on an Old World Mac -- they tell you do partition it, just in case they ever write a bootloader that supports OW Macs. I don't believe I set one up on my Wallstreet PowerBook when I installed 2.3 and later 3.0, but I might be mistaken.
