dual boot

[Thufir]

I want to dual-boot Ubuntu 14.04 and (a derivative of) OpenSuSE.  Is this
partition scheme ok?

thufir at doge:~$
thufir at doge:~$ sudo parted -l
Model: ATA ST500DM002-1BD14 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End    Size    Type     File system     Flags
 1      1049kB  105GB  105GB   primary  ext4            boot
 2      105GB   498GB  393GB   primary  ext4
 3      498GB   500GB  2348MB  primary  linux-swap(v1)

Is it a problem that sda1 is marked as a boot partition?  Isn't that
what I want?

Do I also want to mark sda2 as a boot partition?  Assuming standard
OpenSuSE install.
