After created mount it again and

Grub install now

And youre done


OK, what I did, and a couple of steps that I should have done

#cp -a /boot /root

#umount /boot

#gparted

#cp -a /root/boot /

#grub2-install /dev/sdb

At this point there are 2 more steps I should have done

#grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

edit /etc/fstab to replace the UUID for mounting /boot

Somewhere in what I did or had to do in rescue mode messed up the SELinux labeling, and one of the reboots relabeled. Overall it should have been about a 10 minute procedure, but it took me about an hour. If the partition that had to be shrunk was not boot, but something larger, backing it up and restoring it might be more difficult and time consuming.
