Description of Problem: How Reproducible: KS does not work on a 1024+ cyl disk unless a /boot partition is used. I don't see any reason for that. Lilo works fine with the lba option and I don't understand why anaconda forces me to use a /boot partition. If Please add a "lba option".
The problem is that lba doesn't work on all bioses. We are aware of the problem and are re-engineering the partitioning section of the installer. Thanks for your report.
When booting linux from a method other than the RedHat LILO config then the /boot partition is also not (always) necessary. http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/bootlinux.htm
