If I decide to make a separate boot partition on my hard drive are then the following steps the right way? -- Make a partition on the hard drive of 50 MB and format it. -- in fstab put "/dev/hda3 /boot ext3 defaults 0 0 -- move /boot to /tmp/boot -- mount /boot -- move files of /tmp/boot to /boot If so do i have to make a new mkbootdisk?
