No, I'm using ArchLinux and all my linux filesystem (including /boot) is on a LVM partition, I've also debian (wheezy) and fedora 19 and these two also is completly on LVM partition. The separate partition for /boot that you've talked is only necessary on GRUB legacy in the GRUB2 no more need /boot separated. as you can see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LVM#Installing_Arch_Linux_on_LVM (see the warning) Since GRUB2 can load LVM exists something (either a hack?) that I can do for NetBSD boot on LVM ?
