/boot must be mounted, but the ebuild will mount it for you if it is not. |

Note however that the ebuild will *not* update the stages installed in |
| 10 |
the MBR and/or boot sector: after you're done emerging you have to do |
| 11 |
that either manually or by re-running grub-install. |

Depending on what changed between the two releases, failure to update |
| 14 |
the stages might result in an unbootable system. |
