You will need the separate /boot partition and then your lvm partition. 
For an example my 500gb hard drive. I created a /boot partition 500MB, 
and the lvm partiton which is 200GB. Inside the lvm I have a 20gb /root, 
60gb /home, and a 40gb /data(used with winblows). That's only 120gb of 
the 200gb I allotted. You can always resize them, going larger is easier 
and going smaller takes a little more work. It is all in what you need 
or want.
