Didn't you ever create a separate partition for /boot? It would be the same for any other specific directory. Anyway, what you do - and the same is possible running RAID and/or LVM (with LVM it is an LV and not a partition) - is that you start by creating a partition of a specific size. You further define in that step which filesystem should be used and - this is the important fact - at which mountpoint the partition should be mounted. Some common mountpoints are already predefined and you can choose one of them out of this list. But it is no problem to choose a very different, like /var/spool/mail. You can repeat this step as often you like as long you have free space for new partitions. One of the partitions created this way must have the mountpoint /. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/s1-diskpartitioning.html for further reading and screenshots.
