I am creating an API with Spring Boot so wish to disable the /error mapping.

You can disable the ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration :

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration.class})
public class SpringBootLauncher {

Or through Spring Boot's application.yml/properties:

spring.autoconfigure.exclude: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.error.ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration

If this is not an option for you, you may also extend Spring's ErrorController with your own implementation:

@RestController
public class MyErrorController implements ErrorController {

    private static final String ERROR_MAPPING = "/error";

    @RequestMapping(value = ERROR_MAPPING)
    public ResponseEntity error() {
        return new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
    }

    @Override
    public String getErrorPath() {
        return ERROR_MAPPING;
    }

Note: Use one of the above techniques (disabled auto-configuration or implement the error-controller). Both together will not work, as mentioned in the comments.
