Yes you can boot directly to JFS, have done it for a while now. Rock
solid, even full filesystem checks are quite fast (which I think was one
of the design criteria) and since I live in the country with no UPS,
power-failure reslilience is an issue (I know, not only should I buy two
disks, but a UPS as well).
JFS is also faster (very noticible on a 486, I'm sure less so on an
Athlon).
