I do have '/boot' on a separate partition. If I understand it correctly,
'/boot' gets mounted every time at system start-up, based on
'/etc/fstab', does it not?

box0 boot # cat /etc/fstab

/dev/sda1        /boot        ext2        default,noatime    0 2
/dev/sda2        none        swap        sw        0 0
/dev/sda3        /        ext4        noatime        0 1

/dev/cdrom        /mnt/cdrom    auto        noauto,ro    0 0


box0 boot # mount|grep /dev/sda
/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sda5 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime)

box0 boot # fdisk -l /dev/sda
