list no longer contains /boot. I still use a /boot partition,
I guess old habits just die hard.

Hmm, when is a /boot actually needed? In former times it was needed when /
was too big, and thus the kernel might end up after cylinder 1024. Neither
grub nor lilo are affected by this anymore.
And also booting is possible from reiserfs, due to initrd - same for raid,
isn't it?
That's no flame, just plain interest: when should a /boot still be created?
