I always put mine on the first harddrive.Never had it on a second drive, I think it might not work there.
Thanks John, I appreciate the input and think that from now on I will have /boot partitions on all installs. Does it matter where you put it, as in the first or second partition?
It used to be necesary to be within 1024 cylinders(approx 8gigs), however I am told that does not matter any more, but again I've never tried it. when ever I set up a hard drive from the start I just add a suitable partition right at the front whether I turn it into a /boot partition or not, I shove the /swap in the middle for best data flow, the rest is to taste, and it does not matter which harddrive the rest of the partitions are put on , you just please yourself.Whatever happens to suit. I invariably devide the unused portions into convenient spare partitions and add lines in fstab to mount them. Dead handy to have these spare partitions.
John
