That's correct, you don't need to mount /boot. > > Whats the difference between /boot partition and grub partition? > > I am not aware of grub partitions. There is no "grub partition" but a place where grub is installed, the MBR or when using legacy BIOS with GPT drives a BIOS boot partition (maybe depending on the boot loader just the protective Master Boot Record, I don't know). > But you will need your /boot partition to be present when using > grub-install and grub-mkconfig. I don't know if you need /boot at all when using an EFI partition, however, I'm using an EFI partition and /boot to hold the kernels and grub.cfg etc., but the OP doesn't use EFI. To write or update grub.cfg, to install or update the kernel/s or memtest, the partition/s holding those needs to be mounted.
