Partition question

[Victory]

During Debian (woody 3.0r1) installation, how do I tell that I want to set:   /dev/sda1 as /boot /dev/sda2 as / /dev/sda3 as swap.   I did set up those partition as above, but after finish and boot up, df -v only show /dev/sda2 mount as / and I can see all the directories under / including /boot containing all the boot files. I then have to manually mount  /dev/sda1 as /mnt and copy all the files from /boot directory to /mnt and then edit /etc/fstab file so that it will mount /dev/sda1 as /boot everytime system rebooted. Is this normal or did I do something wrong. Regards, Victor
