mkfs.xfs primary bootable partition issue

Hello all,

I'm trying to hack an XFS Debian potato install and I
have gotten pretty far but have ran into a wall.

My partitions are set up with cfdisk as follows:

/dev/hda   (boot flag set primary) /boot
/dev/hda5  (logical)               /
/dev/hda6  (logical)               /swap
/dev/hda7  (logical)               /var 

when I run mkfs.xfs on /dev/hda I get some strange
results


#mkfs.xfs -l size-32768 -f /dev/hda1
 size 32768 too large for internal log

but this same command works on /dev/hda5 and
/dev/hda7?

so I tried mkfs without the -l argument and it worked,
but when I try to mount /dev/hda1 things are not
working too well:

#mount -t xfs /dev/hda1 /boot
 Mounting /dev/hda1 on /boot failed: No such file or
directory

mounting /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda7 is all good though? 
Is there something I'm missing about the boot flag or
primary partitions?  Please help, I'm lost.


Best Regards,

John Herrington
