The simplest way, when you aren’t booting with EFI, is to move /boot to / where you have tons of free space.
From: Arch Linux How to move /boot to /
Boot from a live distro, mount the partition containing
/to
/mnt/mainthe partition containing/bootto/mnt/bootthen copy
/mnt/bootto/mnt/main.Then remove the “/boot” entry from your
/etc/fstab, (arch-)chroot
into Arch & reinstall GRUB.
Rather than removing /boot entry though I would comment it out with #.
Rather than chroot and reinstall GRUB, I would use boot-repair.
