If /boot is on a seperate partition, the /boot/boot symlink never gets |
| 20 |
created - or at least not in the correct place - unless you are aware of |
| 21 |
the problem and take steps to correct it. That is one reason why I do |
| 22 |
not advocate creating a seperate /boot partition unless you really know |
| 23 |
what you are doing. ;) |
