Hi Anubhav, do not move uEnv.txt, the U-Boot image and the kernel images around. Due to the limited technical possibilities of the very early boot stages, these files are exspected to be at certain physical place on the flash memory.
Instead edit /etc/fstab and remove the mount command of /boot. Do a backup first.
