While strictly speaking this is more noise, you would get a better
response by starting a new thread, rather than replying to someone
else's.  Or at least change the subject so you can pretend you started a
new thread.

Until then, start with the GRUB documentation (in particular
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.en.html#q11).

Why are you using a boot partition anyway?  It is much easier in
practice just to have a boot directory on the same partition as your /.
