Note about disk partitioning: Make /boot partition the primary (first)
partition and choose the filesystem type as "ext3" (not "ext4" - which is the default)

Could you , please , explain why ?
It's "just in case". It's not really required. I prefer making sure every tool out there can read /boot partition to avoid problems :)
pvgrub can't handle ext4 partitions, and does so in a non-obvious way (often by just going into a spin loop...).
