Can anybody clarify if the boot partition should be mounted? Yes this is my 1st install : D
I would guess it should be but "I have no clue".
I know that I mounted it during install but every time I boot it's NOT mounted. Why is that?
Everything seems totally fine without it mounted though-for the past week or so since install. :-\
I have boot hda1
swap hda2
tce hd3

Boot medium - whichever that would be - is accessed by the bootloader to load kernel and cpio archive(s) and then no longer required.
Of course you could add a mount command line e.g. to /opt/bootlocal.sh to have a filesystem mounted at boot time.

Thanks for the response tiny and that explains why it hasn't been mounted every time I check on it.
What benefits would I have for haven the filesystem mounted at boot time?
"Just curious, I really don't know"

No recommendation whatsoever, just added that for completion, in case you or any other user would have such a preference.

You would have the benefit of being able to accidentally erase files on it.
I have a build server that mounts all drives read only.
I do this so nothing can overwrite or erase any file.
I only unlock the drive when I need modify something.
I immediately lock it when done.
