I'm making a second attempt with an ext3 /boot


No one's ever convinced me there is any point wasting space on a journal on a
/boot partition. Writes to /boot are quite infrequent. Mine are all ext2.

The default installation does not propose separate /boot.
I haven't used separate /boot for years.

If this causes the user the need to configure separate /boot with ext2
(or ext3 which also works fine or anything else than ext4) I think it
should not occur at the final stages of the installation but way before.
