[Solved] Move /boot

Hi
I've searched over the net ,but I couldn't find any tut on how to move /boot partition.
my current partition layout is :

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *          63   135588599    67794268+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2       135588600   379856924   122134162+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3       379856925   380065769      104422+  83  Linux
/dev/sda4       380065770   488392064    54163147+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5       413625618   419890904     3132643+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6       419890968   487026539    33567786   83  Linux
/dev/sda7       487028588   488392064      681738+   b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sda8       380065896   413625554    16779829+  83  Linux

where /dev/sda3 (primary partition) is /boot partition and i want to move it on /dev/sda7 (extended partition).
I guess i need to copy all files and reinstall grub but I want to be sure not to mess up the sys

PS: I use grub2

thnx smile

Re: [Solved] Move /boot

mount the new partion somewhere, cp -a all the files to it, edit fstab, unmount the old boot, remount the new one to /boot, reinstall grub to the mbr.
