If /boot is idle, it should certainly not be touched by raw IO to another partition. About the only thing I could think of is either an IDE driver problem (those have been depressingly common, recently), or you were accidentally using /dev/hda instead of /dev/hda6 for raw IO (which would likely mess up /boot in a big way).
