To what extend does the /boot have to match the / ? Cab I use the /boot
within the / for the old system to boot the / for the new system? As long
as I take care to keep it updated with enough extra kernels and stuff?
Or, more plausibly, would it be enough for /boot to be outside LVM on
RAID? Or does all of / have to be there?
