Or in today's world, /boot can't be on an LVM volume.  I like to put as 
much on LVM as possible so I can add disk in a hurry if needed.

I keep a /boot of a gig or so (yum update fills it before I notice) as 
a software RAID mirror.

BTW, the Fedora Core 3 installer borks grub if you do this.  After 
installing, boot the installer CD 'linux rescue' do a 'chroot 
/mnt/sysimage' when you get a shell and run:

grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

Then reboot and all works as expected.

n.b. grub-setup doesn't support RAID (gotcha #7324) so
	grub-setup /dev/sda
will fail.
