Traditionally a separate boot partition is a good thing, and more so in special cases like raid or lvm. I'm not surprised that the installer asks for one.
I think the requirements for having a separate /boot partition have mostly gone away. LILO used to have a limitation that meant /boot had to be within the first 1024 cylinders, but AFAIK that was lifted long ago. I also used to setup a separate /boot partition, but I've recently stopped doing that. My machines are all RAID1 only, though not necessarily software RAID.
It reads the passwd file from the old install and recreates it in the new one. I find that a nice feature.
