I have a similar setup with my IDE drive. I would suggest just making the
"/boot" directory the mount point for the small initial partition. (I
needed this to get around the BIOS limitations to use LILO). Here's my
setup:
/dev/hdb2 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb3 none swap sw 0 0
red:/etc$ df
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdb2 1493162 1336422 110443 92% /
/dev/hdb1 4358 2048 2310 47% /boot
