You need a separate /boot as ext[23] to boot, and it must be a partition. I 
*think* it must be a primary partition, as the installer tells me I have not 
enough free space for a boot partition, when I cleared 150MB for an extended 
partition. Yes, I changed the size I was asking for to 150, yes I actually had a 
few more MB free than that.
