Sounds good. Having /boot on a stick makes it easy to have whatever I
might need available when my fancy-schmanzy root-fs fails to show up at
boot :-) .
Always have a known good kernel and initramfs to fall back on, and tuck
away some extra tools on the stick. Put some (statically linked)
*parted,lvm,md and formatting binaries on there and you can easily
rearrange things before mounting the root fs.
