Well, but even the location of the /boot directory/partition doesn't
necessarily tell, from where someone booted - suppose, you've got
a boot disk /dev/sda. On /dev/sda, there's grub. Grub's setup so,
that it boots a system/kernel, which is on /dev/sdb. The system
is "self contained" on /dev/sdb.
In such a case, the system would've been booted from /dev/sda,
but there's no way to tell that, once the "/dev/sdb system" has
been started - or is there?

disk is mounted at /boot. Your boot disk could be same as root disk (in
this case there would not be anything mounted at /boot but just a
directory).
