Is /boot never a mountpoint? There are always two images in /boot: image_big which is the image that was installed and image_latest which is the last image that was compiled (or, on a fresh installation, equal to the former). There may be more images in the /boot/image directory, but their names are variable which is not convenient for GRUB. The MINIX installation script only supports a configuration with three partitions: /, /home and /usr. Although theoretically it is possible for someone to hack together a different configuration, this is very unlikely and not a 'supported' set-up. It seems reasonable that in such a case the user also manually configure GRUB. With kind regards, Erik van der Kouwe
