I'm not 100% sure but I think at least the root partition needs to be an
msdos primary partition, for the kernel to use it.
Any other partitions including /boot should probably work as logical
partitions, because the are mounted later, and GRUB2 should support them
too.
The situation may be different with ZFS however, as there is a chance
the kernel might be able to find a root pool even if it resides on
logical partition[s]. But again - not sure, and if I find the answer to
this I will update the FAQ.
