It's just a badly designed example.  Obviously, it makes more sense to put
the more normal construction first - most of us don't have a pure /boot
partition, so the first version _won't_ work, because in the grub
syntax "/" is whatever's at the top of the filesystem tree, on that
partition, so a /boot _partition_ doesn't have any directory /boot.
