you need to mount /boot.  Before you do that, delete (or move) the files
that you put in (the unmounted) /boot!  /boot isn't mounted by default.

Once you've mounted /boot, you should see lots of stuff in there.

If it happens once, it's a bug.
If it happens twice, it's a feature.
If it happens more than twice, it's a design philosophy.
