Now inside this boot folder, there will already be a file present-
You can check which partition is your ESP using Gparted; find which partition is formatted as fat32 and has size around 200mb-1gb.
 
Can mount it as /boot/efi by
 
sudo mount /dev/sdXN /boot/efi
X=a,b,c...
N=1,2,3...
These depend on which partition your ESP is present which can be obtained via Gparted as mentioned earlier.
