Separate partitions.

Mounted, /boot has the correct bzImage of the correct filesize and
date/time. However, if I umount /boot (hdb1) as root, there is also a
/boot directory in the / partition (hdb2). There is a kernel in there as
well as a map and a couple boot.xxx files.

This is when running on the kernel image. I'll try to see what I can find
when I boot off the CD image later.
