FWIW, I always keep /boot as a separate partition of just a 100Mb or so. make it ext2/3 and it will almost always be readable and you don't have to play about with grub too often ;-) that's usually the way I manage to screw-up most when moving partitions!!! I found that just a simple cp -a does everything you need. -a implies R too I believe.
