You can move some of the files in that directory, most notably the 
install.img file, but it has to be onto a non-LVM filesystem (LVM seems 
only to be started up after this file is loaded) and you have to edit 
/boot/grub/grub.conf to tell the system where to find it or tell it during 
the boot (it will ask you for the partition and path to the file within 
the partition if it doesn't find it).
