Using reiser for the /boot partition is usually a mistake, because a lot of space is used for the journal. For a small partition, about 100 MiB, it is better to use plain ext2 (not 3).
Yep i realise that but i have this thing about the EXT series file systems i have never had anything bot complete hassle from them so i would rather waste a little space and use a filesystem i know and trust .
It is not a little space: it is about 30%.
It is so little a partition that you will not have problems with it being ext2. Actually, for /boot ext2 (or even ext3) is the type with less problems of all types.
For my two cents worth, I think I'll go with ext2 or ext3. The only thing that makes me consider using ext3 is I know how often this filesystem get's problems and a journal will likely help that. That said, not much changes on a /boot partition and it's not hard to rebuild. Q
