There should be a link /boot/boot that points to . (/boot). This should |
| 2 |
allow it to work in both the normal case (for those who follow the |
| 3 |
instructions) and for the case for users (like myself) that selectively |
| 4 |
ignore the instructions and don't use a /boot partition, but blindly type |
| 5 |
in the menu.lst from the instructions. ;-) |

Maybe you didn't have /boot mounted at some point (say during the untaring |
| 8 |
stage) and the link didn't get created? |
