[SOLVED] /boot is not automatically mounted on startup

I have a system with encrypted root partition, and separate not-encrypted boot partition. So the disk looks like this:

nvme0n1     259:0    0 953.9G  0 disk  
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0    32M  0 part  # BIOS boot partition
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0   960M  0 part  # Linux boot partition
└─nvme0n1p3 259:3    0 952.9G  0 part  # encrypted root partition
  └─root    254:0    0 952.8G  0 crypt /

System seems to work fine, but /boot is not mounted automatically. Is that normal? I suspect that certain operations (like updating the system and regenerating initramfs) will fail due to /boot not present.

I can mount the partition manually after each startup, but that seems incorrect.

Maybe your /boot partition is not present in /etc/fstab...
