/boot ... posible to use another partition???

due to having win 2k on my system i have to use a seperate partition at the begining of my disk for /boot.... this is not normaly a problem eccept knoppix does not give you the option to set up partitions other than root and swap...
1. is there an updated version of the script that configs other partitions???
2. is there any way to set up a seperate boot partition manualy???
3. would a third party boot manager work for this???

oh yea, and does the fact that i am booting of the boot disk the hd-install made and not the mbr have any bearing on this???



aaaaaaargh,
