Yeah, Amigas also had such issues when hard drives got to be bigger than
4Gig. The boot partition *had* to be wholly inside the first 4Gig,
otherwise you could come unstuck.

Ext3.

Apparently not, on this machine, as /boot doesn't show up. Thinking
back, when I partitioned up the drives, I ended up doing some weird
things to get the system set up. It's not set up as I'd like at all.
The other two machines aren't powered up ATM for me to check them. Not
worth turning them on just ot run df and/or mount.....
