To do this, edit your /etc/fstab to have the 'noauto' option for the /boot 
partition.  For example:

/dev/hda2       /boot     ext2    noauto,defaults    1   1

IIRC, there should be tabs between each field.

Whenever you need to maintain the boot partition, log in as root and enter the 
command 'mount /boot'.  When your done, 'umount /boot'.

I don't know how well this works with up2date/yum in RH when you are updating 
kernel/lilo/grub, though.  Perhaps you should mount /boot before 
doing 'up2date.'  I would hope that it mounts it for you, though.
