Comment 1 Stian Skjelstad 2005-01-01 18:50:09 UTC

Would not these normally already be mounted on a normal system, and /boot is not always an independent partition either. If you intend to let /boot be on an own partition, it should be the users own responsibility that it is mounted.

You could also have migrated away from having /boot on it's partition and set the entry to noauto in /etc/fstab

genkernel does check if /boot is mounted; check genkernel.conf and ensure MOUNTBOOT is on.
