Bear in mind that gentoo insists on mounting /boot for you, if it exists
in fstab. B*****y e***ing stupid if you ask me.
There's a flag that says "don't mount boot", but all that does is scream
blue murder and say "if you won't let me mount boot I won't play",
before terminating. All I wanted was for it to stick it in the boot
DIRECTORY and let me sort things out later :-(
And the alleged workaround promptly caused the kernel compile to crash
with "file not found", despite whatever option it was apparently having
absolutely nothing to do with where it was supposed to be looking for
its files.
So basically, the fact that you THINK /boot isn't mounted means nothing
- gentoo will mount it behind your back, and wail blue murder if it can't.
Cheers,
Wol
