[GTALUG] Re: Fedora question -- make zinstall doesn't work

From: Alvin Starr via Talk <talk@lists.gtalug.org>

As a general rule RHEL/Fedora tries to build a /boot partition that is a file system that grub can boot from.

Yes. The unsaid part is that / need not be a filesystem that grub can boot from. In the past, I usually made / ext3. Since grub can understand ext3, I leave /boot as a directory within /. Recently, I've been playing with BTRFS. I don't expect grub to understand BTRFS so I allow the installer to create a /boot partition.
