/dev/sda1 -> /boot failure

FC4 yum updated

I have a system that has /boot as its own partition (/dev/sda1).  The 
rest of the fs is in a lvm volume group.

the /dev/sda1 is having some problems which were shown by

- boot off of rescue cd, mount FC4 instance and chroot to it, then re 
login as root
- umount /boot
- fsck -c /dev/sda1

and I want to move /boot back onto the "/" fs in the volume group, which 
I have done by:

- boot off of rescue cd, mount FC4 instance and chroot to it, then re 
login as root
- removed the /boot reference in fstab
- copied /grub dir from old /boot to the new dir
- because the kernel files were corrupted I added the kernels (I usually 
keep 2 -> current and 1 version back) back with:
--  rpm -ivh --force --noscript kernel-2.6.17-1.2139-FC4.i686.rpm
--  rpm -ivh --force --noscript kernel-2.6.17-1.2141-FC4.i686.rpm

This appears to have put the files back into the new /boot location.  So 
my question is what is the next step to tell the system that it needs to 
use the new /boot directory?

Or any other comments?
