ps.
any special reason that you have a separate /boot partition?
/boot is still mentioned in the beginner's guide on
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide#Selecting_a_partitioning_scheme
Maybe it should be removed there ?
No, a separate /boot partition is still necessary if the whole harddisk
is encrypted with dm-crypt/LUKS. I haven't heard yet that grub2 is able
to unlock LUKS containers.
And if not kept mounted, it can also make the system a bit more secure
for really paranoid people. Btw., if I recall correctly somewhere in the
grub2 docs or Wiki I read something that in some cases (BIOS/MBR or
something like that) a separate /boot partition is necessary.

I see, thanks a lot ! :)
