No, I chose the default size. One note:

  Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 2343 cylinders
  Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes

     Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/hda1   *         1        17    128488+  83  Linux
  /dev/hda2   *      2310      2343    257040    6  FAT16
  /dev/hda3            51      2309  17078040    5  Extended

My hibernation partition is still marked as bootable, and it is my first
windows-y partition - also I have no NTFS partitions. Could the BIOS be
looking at the partions, seeing the NTFS partition and giving up before it
gets to the FAT16 partition?
