I've used a separate /boot since civileme recommended doin so
quite a while ago if your other partitions are journalized fs's. He
said to use ext2 or ext3 for /boot, specially with XFS or ReisersFS
/ and other partitions. So I do, particularly since civileme's
specialty was HDD, fs's and partition QA.
I've found it handy at install time too. I run cooker and have
a lot of kernels in /boot. Havin 'em in a separate partition gives
me the option to keep 'em, or go ahead and reformat /boot to clear
it out when various cooker iso's start comin out. Mines 46MB, and
over 20mb is used. Most people would only need about a 20mb /boot.
