Can you add a small /boot partition ~48 MB?

YMMV but under rh71 on my 20GB HD, ananconda wanted
to have a /boot partition below 1024 cyl

<from my ks.cfg>
zerombr yes
clearpart --all
# issue here if more than 2 ext2 parition
# ananconda wants to have a /boot partition below 1024 cyl. 
part /boot  --size 128
part /  --size 4096
part swap --size 2047
lilo --location mbr
