Hi Scott,
Thanks a lot for your message back. /boot does have its
own partition which is in /etc/fstab and was mounted
at the time of the grub-install. I am going to
try some more noodling and googling to see if
I can figure this out.
[root@duey1 ~]# grep boot /etc/fstab
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
[root@duey1 ~]# df /boot
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 38859 12863 23990 35% /boot
[root@duey1 ~]# ls /boot/grub
device.map fat_stage1_5 grub.conf menu.lst reiserfs_stage1_5 stage1 vstafs_stage1_5
e2fs_stage1_5 ffs_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5 minix_stage1_5 splash.xpm.gz stage2 xfs_stage1_5
