Sarge installation problem

[Junpei Xia <xiajunpei@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I got a problem when installing Sarge with Debian Installer RC3
netinst CD: GRUB failed to install, neither LILO, my disk partition is
as follows:
/dev/hda1    /boot    8MB
/dev/hda2    /          500MB
/dev/hda5    /home  27GB
/dev/hda6    /opt     10GB
/dev/hda7    /tmp    500MB
/dev/hda8    /usr     20GB
/dev/hda9    /usr/local    10GB
/dev/hda10  /var      10GB
/dev/hda4   swap

Do you think my small /boot partition can be the cause of the failure?
BTW, /srv is newly introduced in Sarge, what is it for? Is it
suggested to allocate separate partition for it?

Any help appreciated:)
