are you mounting /boot before you copy the new kernel to it?

It was answered so many time here, I think they should put:
Have you mounted /boot before copying kernel image
under the forums logo

Not really sure about the "don't keep mounted" advice. Seems to cause more problems than it actually solves 
If the /boot partition is toast due to some reason, it is not a big deal to go back to the grub CD and recompile the kernel. Additionally, if you are building modules, they are in /lib - so it is not as if you will be back to a fully working state anyway (of course, file systems are compiled in - can repair, etc.) |

Is there a reason to have /dev/hda1 /boot etx2 noauto in fstab?
I mount my /boot upon bootup.
Any ideas? |

Gentoo doc. says don't do it.
My feelings above. I actually have no boot partition (directory in /). No big deal to recompile the kernel. Your mileage may vary |

Same here, I don't use a seperate boot partition. I do use /home partition, so I can share my user info between different distros (It is also mounted on another disk, can't hurt performance ).

The reason is to help minimize corruption. If a fs is not mounted, that makes it extremely difficult to dmg. Excluding hardware failure etc.
