It "shouldn't matter" (TM) but to take the conservative approach, ddruid
makes the boot partition the first partition. In older versions of lilo,
the boot partition couldn't be beyond the 1024 cylinder limit. (I get a
warning with fdisk that my new 18G HDD has more than 1024 cylinders and
that I should be careful about my boot partition. why don't you make the
boot partition first. BTW, what are you using hda2 & hda3 for? Did you
know that they could also be primary partitions and used for swap and /?
