Question about partitions

[Angelo Bertolli]

I wanted to start helping the project along, but the first
step (installation) has already got me wondering:

Can HURD boot up from an extended partition?  I have a small ext3 boot
partition at the beginning of the drive where GRUB lives.  Can I put the
microkernel in HURD's own non-primary partition, or do I have to make a
primary partition for HURD too?  I would like to keep HURD completely in
its own environment, using the filesystem it was meant to use, without
putting any part of it in the ext3 partition.
