Not a MUST at all these days.   For people with large physical drives
set up LBA, and who keep bootable partitions on low logical numbers
or who use the latest LILO (which has no 1024 cylinder limit) the
best move is to put all of Linux in the one partition (the Mandrake
installer supports this), and so totally avoid the constant problem
of partition resize rejuggling.

There is NO need or value in having a separate /boot partition these
days.
