I do not understand the question. I am assuming the above is saying that /dev/sda2 (which is "/") is the boot partition and if this is a correct assumption, I left it as is. I did try to redo the entire setup and chosed the 'Advanced Options', and instead of the default MBR @ /dev/sda - I choosed the radiobutton of /dev/sda1 - and I assume this is the same thing? It is confusing me as to what is the difference between /dev/sda and /dev/sda1? No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
