Subsume boot partition into root partition - how?



The recent kernel update to 11.0 failed because my /boot partition is too
small. (It was big enough for 10.2.) Rather than shuffling partitions
about maybe I'll subsume it into the root partition.

Is there any reason not to do that?
What is the easiest safe way of doing it?

/boot is currently ext2 (it was set up yonks ago) and / is ext3.
