Sometimes i'll make /boot on its own partition, but in recent years this has come to be an obsolete practice.
It's hardly obsolete if you multiboot, even with only two OS installations. When you have many, it's convenient and a good safety device to have at least one /boot with Grub that gets touched only when you choose to have it touched, particularly when the alternate OS is a beta or worse. Make your primary OS use /boot at least once, then let most or all other installs leave it incorporated in /. I always have at least one /boot, usually either a primary, or /dev/Xda5. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
