To what extent do you mean "Setup"?  Are you installing just the OS?  What version?

This will help us get a better feel as to what your options are. ;)

It's a good idea to keep boot partitions less than 500mb or so and keep them at the very beginning of the disk.  Other than that, follow the cwb/os3.9 guide that has been linked and you will be good to go :)
