I  recall their were problems with grub and reiser at one point - one
version of grub didn't properly support a version of reiser and booting
would be borked. I don't believe I have seen a reference to this problem
for 2 years or more. In other words it has been fixed.

Well i have made a small /boot (only 32M) and I am stuck with it short
of a complete re-partition so I'm not going to debate it. Frankly it is
a pain because you have to remember to mount it if you want to install a
new kernel or change grub.conf.
