Yeah, I should have set noauto the instant I found out about it. Any

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.
That's why I made a tiny script for Genkernel that does the mounting and
unmounting. This also has the advantage of me not having to remember the
Genkernel options ;).
Using genkernel with --install option automounts /boot, if not mounted
(using it for a long time).
Alternatively, ditch a separate /boot altogether, it really isn't needed
with modern hardware.
I use lvm, so that wouldn't yield good results :-/.
