I pretty much killed the "/boot as a separate slice" option years ago.
Too many little nagging headaches, especially with GRUB (although LILO
itself is another headache).
About the only time you need it is for MD (software) RAID. But if I
need RAID, I throw in a 3Ware (ATA/SATA) or LSI (SCSI/SATA) card.
So that removes that issue for myself.
