interesting, how did you make it do that??
or, maybe i should ask: would you like juice with your toast?
(your system seems to be well toasted–is it otherwise performing as
one would expect???)

The system is working normal only the time it needs tot boot is more then 30 seconds
For years, when I’ve installed openSUSE, I get a symbolic link in the boot directory, which points to dot. So are you sure it’s not a symbolic link?
I’m not sure why it’s there, but it is. At first I thought it odd, but then I thought perhaps that’s the “perspective” that’s needed on the boot directory, during system boot.
That is NOT abnormal. And it is not just in 12.2 and 12.3, but it is like that for ages.
And you can go on there also into infinity because, as you should have decided on seeing:
henk@boven:/boot> ls -l
totaal 30224
.....
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 11 dec 12:04 boot -> .
.....
it is a loop.
This is normal. It is just a symlink, as in:
cd /boot
ln -s . boot
Your repeated “cd” are just taking you to the same place.
It is there for convenience.
If there is no separate “/boot”, then we tell grub to look for its config file in “/boot” starting at the root partition.
By adding that symlink, we can tell grub to look for its config file in “/boot” even though it is starting at the “/boot” partition.

So this is solved
I deleted boot in /boot
help help a new install the boot info was wipede
So this is 12.2 again
A mistake.
I’m not sure that I understand that part.
However, if your system won’t boot because you deleted “/boot/boot”, then you can just put it back.
Boot from live media, or boot into the install DVD and select “rescue”
If needed, become root (use “su”).
Mount the “/boot” partition:
# mount /dev/sdaX /mnt
(change “sdaX” to whatever is needed)
# cd /mnt
# ln -s . boot
# umount /mnt
Then reboot, and you should be set.

Why? What reason do you have to delete that?
The installation system creates that symlink for a reason. You don’t
know what that reason is, but that doesn’t justify deleting it. You may
break things that you don’t know about.

I see a “link” in boot directory too. I too can do cd boot endlessly. Was real educative.lol!
