It is my understanding that the /boot partition has to be on a primary

Nope, not true.  It works just fine as a logical partition.


Only if you write GRUB (or some other "smart" boot loader) to the MBR.


Again, not true.  It works for me on hda5 and hda6, each a /boot for a
different installation of Fedora, and each one can chain-load the
other, so both work just fine.


Interesting thing to test out. I'll have to try chainloading the installation which I have on an extended partition. I always loaded it in MBR because it gave a warning if ever I selected it as the location to install grub. Thanks for the lead.
