20 MB would be more than enough. I have 3 kernels on my /boot and use a little
less than 10 MB

You misread this, Peter. I did not write that the partition needed to be 500 MB large, just thet is needed to be within the first 500 MB of the drive. In fact, I usually make it the first partition, and make it anywhere from 10 to 50 MB, depending on specifics of the system (mainly, of course, how many different kernels I expect to have on it at any time ... normal systems will, as you suggest, do fine with 10 MB or even less ... also how big the hard disk is).
