Thanks to all for your help :)
I found the missing /boot partition with all its content. The solution was
in the details that somehow I along with others missed was that after
installing Debian on the 2nd Disk i.e. sdb on my machine (which already had
Solaris on sda), for a few reasons I had exchanged the two disks physically
(put disk1 in the slot of disk2 and vice-versa). However, I didn't
edit /etc/fstab which was still pointing to /dev/sdb1 (as I posted/pasted
before). But as you may have guessed /sdb was now actually sda. So simply
doing mount /dev/sda1 /boot brought back my boot partition. I have now
edited my fstab file to mount /dev/sda1 so /boot will mount everytime the
system comes back up.
Thanks again :)
