I didn't forget, I wasn't saying that, I was quoting from the
document[1] I provided a link to below the quote. Who's to say /boot is
even on the same system. You might be pulling a kernel image from else
where, and then booting the system. :)
Thus you may have systems with no /boot partition as they do not need it
to run, just boot. If they boot via other means, that machine won't have
a /boot partition or anything :)
