LFS 8.4

I'm in the step in which they talk about the boot partition and grub. I
have some questions about the boot partition before I proceed:

Do all Linux distos look for a boot partition first or else how does this
work?

The instructions say to modify fstab. Here is the current fstab for lfs:

   ==> /etc/fstab <==
   /dev/sda6      /            ext4     defaults            1     1
   /dev/sda7      swap         swap     pri=1               0     0
   proc           /proc        proc     nosuid,noexec,nodev 0     0
   sysfs          /sys         sysfs    nosuid,noexec,nodev 0     0
   devpts         /dev/pts     devpts   gid=5,mode=620      0     0
   tmpfs          /run         tmpfs    defaults            0     0
   devtmpfs       /dev         devtmpfs mode=0755,nosuid    0     0
   # End /etc/fstab

Should the line I add look like this:

   /boot/partition   /boot   ext4  defaults      1   1

Then how would I add other distributions if I were to install another.
Actually I am going to do lfs again so I will install another.
