Definining a small primary partition such as /boot as the first

Adam,
That workaround is not sufficient.
What happens if RAID or LVM is used? A few months ago, I built a system with 4 1TB drives in a RAID5 array with LVM on top.
If the user wants to "partition" their 3TB drive, then a GPT partition table is required and RAID / LVM doesn't help. The other option is to leave the 3TB drive unpartitioned. Can opensuse use a unpartitioned 3TB drive as a PV for LVM, then boot from one of the LVs with no physical partitions at all? I don't know, I always partition my drives.
