You have to delete and recreate it. But 8Mb is enough for /boot.
I don't have more on none of my productive systems. It's definitely
enough for two concurrent kernels.

I would set it to 2xRAM for machines with less than 128 Mb and to
1xRAM for machine with 128 and more.

Well, what is this box going to be used for? With 6.4 Gb I would
recommend
hda3 -> 3072Mb and mount as /
hda4 -> the rest and mount as /home
