You can't do that becasue the first thing grub looks for is the boot/
directory on the "root" filesystem.  If /boot is a separate partition,
it is the first thing that grub sees, and so it looks for boot/ under
it.  When we mount it on /boot, it ends up looking to us (but not to
grub) as /boot/boot.
