As I have described in the thread "set prefix on PPC", this is not 
correct. We are not constrained by ybin's behavior. We can create 
whatever partitioning layout we see fit, as long as firmware and OS can 
support it.

There is no hard requirement to have a separate /boot/grub, but I think 
the arguments I've raised point us in that direction.
