during install i emerged grub. then i changed my mind and ran 'emerge unmerge
grub'. during the unmerge the /boot mountpoint was deleted.

/boot/.keep should exist to prevent this.

Well, not really.  Baselayout creates /boot in pkg_postinst(), and also
the /boot/boot symlink.  It should be in theory thus not get unmerged,
except if grub touch the /boot/boot symlink ....
