(boot) is for "boot-helper" image. That means that the configuration registers were set in a manner to either purposefully boot to boot helper mode or to boot to it if you have an error loading up an image from any other location.
The boot helper image is basically a trimmed down version of the regular IOS images. You use it to have more functionality than the rommon. To "get rid of it" (which is technically not possible since they're on ROM chips), you should check to see what your config-registers are set to by using "show version". Set them to 0x2102 to boot up the first regular IOS image it encounters on the flash memory. If the registers are already set to this, then you might not have a bootable image on flash (check this by "show flash").
