 Well, I did a little fips and fdisking when I installed 1.1, and based 
on what I saw, I think it'll be more like:

 Projected
    Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
 /dev/hda1   *        1        1      200   .......   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
 /dev/hda4          201      201      413   .......  83  Linux native
 /dev/hda2          414      414      799   389088   83  Linux native
 /dev/hda3          800      800      825    26208   82  Linux swap  

 I think you should have an alternate plan if this is what you get. Of 
course, I may have done something stupid...
