Erm, you don't write the partition table to a partition -- you write it to the drive itself. For example, if your partitions are /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 etc, the partition table is written to /dev/sda. This should be handled automatically by whatever you're using to set up the partition table (fdisk/cfdisk, gparted, etc.).
You don't need to set any partitions as bootable to boot linux, and the order doesn't really matter except I find it convenient to put /boot first.
