I always leave it mounted since it makes little real difference security wise. seriously, what does it protects you against when a compromise can probably also mount it then unmount it again as a courtesy
mount it read-only, seriously, you can't accidentally delete/edit stuff, or format it by accident (*cough*), plus genkernel supports read-only /boot's since I fixed it and submitted my patches.
I must admit I have never done that although I have created a whole new
/boot hierarchy when I screwed up... I mean suffered at the hands of a bad user interface. ;-)
If there was a way to specify what goes into my initrd with genkernel, I would go back to it in a heartbeat.
hmmmm, usable genkernel. crunchy..
