Your problem is to have a /boot partition altogether. They haven't been needed in many years. If you decide to make a /boot anyway and make it only 15M, it's your own fault. ;)
That's not completely true, they are needed with older hardware.
I doubt that. My oldest hardware is 97/98 and it doesn't need it. Those boxes (of mine) have 64MB RAM max, SUSE doesn't even install on that any more since 10.0(?).
Question: how many systems out there which have 128MB RAM need a separate /boot partition?
The problem is not RAM, but the bios. The bios services are used at first by lilo/boot to read the initial files, and older/buggy bioses simply can not access HD beyond a certain point. My machine, circa 2001, has some problems with big disks. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
