Perhaps you forgot to mount it?
Code:
# mount /boot

It is mounted only if you mount it :)

The reason /boot was not mounted is found in /etc/fstab:
Code:
bandit@rockchuck ~ $ grep /boot /etc/fstab
/dev/sda2       /boot           ext3            noauto,noatime          1 1
That noauto option means "do not automatically mount when starting the system." It gives the files under /boot (i.e., your kernel) a measure of protection from accidental damage.
