Why do you ignore simplicity of installboot?
There is no benefits for me to make installboot more complex
in exchange only for keeping / clean.

If you really want such a perfect world, the right thing to do
is to implement file system aware primary bootloaders like
alpha, i386 and pmax etc.

Anyway, please close the original PR and file new one for it
with a proper synopsis, or implement it yourself.
