9 IIRC, grub-install creates a symlink in /boot named "boot" wich points to /boot:

11 johann@jupiter ~ $ ll /boot/boot
12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 1. Jul 00:01 /boot/boot -> .

14 Now you can write
15 kernel /kernel-x-y-z
16 and
17 kernel /boot/kernel-x-y-z
18
19 and both lines will point to the same kernel ;)
