Here's the fun catch: you shouldn't have to *un*mount /boot. If it's
on a separate partition, you have to explicitly *mount* it. Here's the
appropriate line from my fstab:

/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2

Most everything else will depend on your particular configuration, but
just make sure that the line which corresponds to "/boot" in the second
field has "noauto" somewhere in the fourth.
