/root really shouldn't have anything of importance, unless you left it
there - in which case, you can't recover it

/boot has the kernel, the initramfs - which can be recreated if you
reinstall the "linux" package

and probably some bootloader files that you can also reinstall
depending on the boot loader:
- grub-install
- extlinux
- bootctl
