partitioning strategy



hi there,

a while ago i asked about installing linux on a large drive in a system that
does not support LBA.  somebody replied that such a thing would not be a
problem but likely i would have to make the root partition containing the
kernel smaller in order to accomodate lilo.

what i'm wondering is how i would then go about putting the rest of the
directory trees like /usr /var /etc all on the other large partition.  does
/etc have to be on the small partition as well for fstab and the other start
up files?  how can i mount multiple directory structures in one partition
mounted off root.  obviously i'm a little confused.

does someone think they could understand what i'm getting at and maybe
clarify a little.  a sample fstab would probably help alot too.

thanks,

rob
