Never heard of it. A situation you would never encounter on your distro
anyway, as $vendor would have sorted it for you.

Well that's easy:

mount /boot
cp -a /boot /boot-
umount /boot
rmdir /boot
mv /boot- /boot
grep -v /boot /etc/fstab ... >/etc/fstab
edit /etc/grub.conf
grub --batch </etc/grub.conf

Surely on a 350G disk you can put 32M to rest... you could always add it
to swap ho hum.

Thanks for the gentoo fs overview, sounds like pretty good guidelines. I
read that as "kids: don't try xfs at home".
