Why not one boot partition, one swap partition and two root partitions?

Sorry, too tired and bleary to look at it properly. Maybe. As I said above I think you'd be better off with one /boot partition. > What will happen if it's incorrect I think you should end up with the grub command line, which should allow you to specify a kernel and boot. > , and what should I > do if grub fails ? You could boot from a rescue CD (Knoppix or SystemRescueCD should be fine), mount your partitions, chroot, edit your config files and try again (either with grub or lilo). > How do I specify that I want RH8 to be the default > system ? Change 'default=0' to 'default=1'. HTH, good luck.
