A good reason I think for having a separate /boot directory. There I 
dump kernels from various linux distros and have grub boot them 
even if I mark the second hard drive as Uninstalled in the bios. Also 
allows me to merrily repartition without grub saying it can't find 
its second stage (or something similar).
