I am concerned by /boot partition is too small. 500MB

On one of my gentoo systems I have the following partition setup:


Code:


Device     Boot     Start        End    Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1            2048    1026047    1024000  500M 83 Linux
/dev/sda2         1026048  135243775  134217728   64G 83 Linux
/dev/sda3       135243776 1953525167 1818281392  867G 83 Linux





Looking at the current installation guide the recommendation is a 1GB /boot partition.
I am a bit worried because I have a lot of time invested in configuring this system?

The wiki is kind of the current default with a future save path.
If you do not want to change your current layout, you can easily keep the 500MB. Just keep an eye on its contents. Like, if you have multiple working kernels to choose from.
