If you mean standard stuff people tend to boot (ie, Linux), every
distribution out there installs them and expects them to be in /boot, not
/boot/grub.

My /boot partition is in this case part of the bigger / partition, but
if it was separate it'd be big enough to hold quite a few kernels and so
on.

I really don't see what you mean here.
