I would try the following:

mount -o ro /boot

If that fails ...

mount -t ext2 -o ro /boot

The option "ro" is read only, you may want to omit that option if it 
works otherwise.  The read only suggestion is to lessen the risk of 
damaging anything by accident.

Cheers, oh and send to the list too please, others might benefit.
