[SOLVED] Changing the ESP partition to mount to /boot

I got EFISTUB to work, but the problem is that the ESP is mounted to /efi on startup, so when there is a kernel update it will install initramfs-linux.img and vmlinuz-linuz to /boot and break the boot process.

How do I change the default mount point of the ESP from /efi to /boot? I couldn't find it in any documentation.

Have you read Fstab?

Thanks loqs! That's the answer, no I just run the command from the install guide, I didn't know what Fstab actually does. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Can confirm that's working now thanks, just changed my ESP in /etc/fstab to:

# /dev/nvme0n1p1
UUID=7767-3CDC          /boot ...
