Ah, thanks. I was under the impression that anaconda required
a /boot, like anaconda requires a swap partition which makes it
hard if you want to setup a swapfile instead later during the
install.
I also use LVM for my installs, which I believe needs a /boot
since grub can't as of yet boot off of a LV (and forget it if
that LV's VG is on a MD), so I hadn't seen a kickstart that
didn't have a /boot.
