What's so wrong with a FAT boot partition? It's fast because it is
seldomly changed and therefore unfragmented (no other file system
would be faster for booting purposes), it's reliable because it 
doesn't have dangerous features like write-back caching, and it's 
easy to fix in case of problem because of its simple and well-known
structure.
