That is unrelated to expert mode (partitioning is virtually identical for a default install and expert mode), but a separate /boot partition would definitely show up no matter what device it's on. > I remember that for whatever reason I did so... I think you may have been a victim of #391479. That BR means that if you assigned md0 for /boot before e.g. configuring LVM for md1, that assignment would be lost and you'd have to assign it again. A careful check of the partition overview before choosing the "finish partitioning" option is always highly recommended. So you may well have created md0, but /boot never got mounted on it and thus ended up in the LV with /, which resulted in lilo being used. That particular bug was fixed in partman-md (42) though, uploaded in August 2008, so well before the release of Lenny.
