Theoretically you can put swap on a file in the root partition and put /boot on the /root partition. That theory doesn't make it a good idea... in fact... you'd have to be a moron to do such a thing. <blockquote cite="mid:981da310901010803r2608c24eyd94f3067ee6b64f7@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I tend to just ignore my physical partition lay out (various dual boots over time have left it in shambles MS will only look in certain places), and just let LVM do its magic.
