Thanks for your input.

Turns out /boot wouldn't mount at system start-up because I had
'default' instead of 'defaults' specified for /boot in /etc/fstab.

Now /boot gets mounted automatically without any further ado.

box0=; mount|grep ^/dev
/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,noatime)
/dev/sda5 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime)

Thanks.
