You have to be careful about the boot flag. The BIOS may requite the boot flag before it will try and boot from the drive. It usually does not have to be the partition you actually boot from, unless your boot loader is installed in the boot record of the partition, and there isn't one in the MBR. (Again, this is BIOS dependent.) You also used to run into a problem with some older BIOS where you needed a /boot partition at the start of the disk to be sure the BIOS could read it...
