That's quite similar to how Super Grub Disk works when you try to boot
an existing linux and it seeks for all the menu.lst.

I am talking about changing the boot world. Having an unique boot
partition might make things much simpler.

Although I also think that if you loose this partition you are in
trouble so there should be a backup of this partiton somewhere on the
root partitions. :)
