This means:
umount /boot
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
cp -R /boot/* /boot/


Or, maybe:

cp -R /mnt/* /boot/

:-D

Interesting. I hit insert instead of backspace, and later adding -R option
to copy /boot/grub deleted /mn without noticing. Reading post once again
before sending, I've seen "cp -Rt/* /boot/" and "corrected" error.

By the way your correction looks in KNode as
cp -R /mnt/* boot
where boot is in italic.
I knew about * bold * = *bold* and _ underscore _ = _underscore_ , and now I
learned about / italic / = /italic/

This doesn't work good with commands.
