It is my understanding that the /boot partition has to be on a primary partition.
Nope, not true. It works just fine as a logical partition.
Only if you write GRUB (or some other "smart" boot loader) to the MBR.
Again, not true. It works for me on hda5 and hda6, each a /boot for a different installation of Fedora, and each one can chain-load the other, so both work just fine.
What is the MBR boot loader? The standard DOS/Windows MBR (on a dual boot system) will not boot a logical partition.
