I do not understand the question.  I am assuming the above is saying
that /dev/sda2 (which is "/") is the boot partition and if this is
a correct assumption, I left it as is.  I did try to redo the entire
setup and chosed the 'Advanced Options', and instead of the default
MBR @ /dev/sda - I choosed the radiobutton of /dev/sda1 - and I assume
this is the same thing?  It is confusing me as to what is the difference
between /dev/sda and /dev/sda1?
