After you moved things around, did you change fstab entries to make /boot get mounted in /dev/sda6? If not, the /boot directory in root (/dev/sda5), will get used as a directory, rather than a mount point for a /boot partition. I think you should be right to just copy them over and change anything that refers to their location to point to the right places. -- (This box runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
