None of the above is correct. If you think about an "unused" partition
'c', which will be present in a label written by Tru64 and in Linux
case only if you ask, then aboot does not the slightest problems with
that. Red Hat installer will balk at writing a boot block, because
there is no space outside partitions, but with '-f' flag to 'swriteboot'
you can do that yourself. Installer stuff is not "smart" enough not
to know that this partition does not affect your data and errs on a side
of a caution.
You do not have to "zap" any partitions. Just write boot block.
