/boot as an ext3 partition?

[Robert P. J. Day]

   historically, i've always created a separate /boot partition as a 
primary partition, even when i've formatted the rest of my hda drive 
as an extended partition.

   given that i want to use LVM on this next install (FC3t2, actually, 
although this is clearly not a test-related question), is this still 
the standard approach?  what are the options for the /boot partition 
that GRUB will understand?  logical partition?  logical volume within 
LVM?
