    Don't forget to edit /etc/fstab to mount the new /boot.

    Don't forget to leave a /boot directory on the / filesystem (which
    should probably be empty) on which Linux can mount the new /boot.

    Don't forget to check you can use a rescue disc to get into Fedora
    *before* playing with any of this.

    Hope this helps,

    James.
