The trouble with using noauto is that sooner or later you will forget to
mount /boot before installing a new kernel. I prefer to us ro instead, so
/boot is mounted read-only. It still removes the possibility of
corruption, but gives a clear error if you try to install a kernel
without remounting rw.

Alternatively, ditch a separate /boot altogether, it really isn't needed
with modern hardware.
