    Simple; copy the files there to the root partition, unmount the /boot partition, remove the mount directive for the /boot partition, and reinstall grub:

    sudo -s
mkdir /newboot
cp -ax /boot /newboot
umount /boot
rmdir /boot
mv /newboot /boot
nano /etc/fstab
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

    When you are editing /etc/fstab, locate the line for /boot and remove it.
