A separate /boot is to get round BIOS limitation that prevent accessing beyond the first so many cylinders (1024?) of a drive, so it was essential to have the kernel stored within that area of the disk. That's why the Gentoo handbooks only recommend a separate /boot for certain architectures, basically x86-based ones. For other architectures, like PPC, the handbook does not suggest using /boot, at least it didn't when I installed on this iBook. -- Neil Bothwick Of all the people I've met you're certainly one of them.
