First let me clarify that I USED to have /boot mounted all the time. When I
tried Gentoo, the install docs suggest that it's not necessary and I
I am not sure what it is about gentoo but I have lost /boot a couple of
times now when shutdown with it mounted (mounts as ext3, runs as ext2 on
boot). Never happened on Mandrake or redhat.
After a few painful rescues, I now make /boot is unmounted when not
needed.

Thats because the theory goes, if something happens to one of your partitions, your
