There's no reason not to have /boot on your root partition, they're both
needed for startup. (Unless you have just one big partition, no /usr or
/home or /var, and you don't want to go over the first 1024 cylinders,
which is not the case for you).
Performance-wise, you should keep two /swaps, but when you're booting the
distro on hda, use the swap on hdb, and vice-versa.
