You can have /boot as part of the root filesystem if you want, but
you'll have to make sure the root filesystem is a type grub groks (and
that's ext2 or ext3 only at this time). It can't be on an LVM volume
(as mine is) or be on something esoteric like a software RAID or XFS
filesystem, since the kernel has to be running to access those.
Software RAID 1 is an exception, since it is usable in a read only mode
without knowing about RAID.
