I'll second that Mukund. I have never had a /boot partition even once in the last 6+ years on Linux.This segregation of /boot came about because of problems of LILO and the the 1024-voodoo, and the popularity of RH since 98 or so ... It was RH which started advocating this segregation. Loadlin & NT boot.ini has no 1024-voodoo problems. Neither does grub. But somehow, the mindset of having a /boot and booting thru LILO has become synonymous with doing things the right way! People even repartition to create a /boot to appease LILO !
