Thanks, all, for your answers !
Good to hear they're easy, grub and ext3

So ext3 has to be checked regularily, too ?
I remember there's a 'tune2fs' option to turn it off - is this untrusted ?

I recognize now, might be some special benefits in having separated
partitions:
The unmounted /boot is better protected from 'damages'.
(however, grub doesn't care about changed physical positions, using the FS
pathes, so a simple boot directory seemed to be straight to me first).
Then, if corruption occurs, most probably it hits /tmp, /var and /home.
If those are within the root-FS, this has to be checked completely; where one
can choose more preciseley the targets, in the other case.
In the past, i tried to partition with regards to drive speed.
That's a new point of view now.
