Hey, can I ask another Real Stoopid [TM] question?

What's the point of symlinking bootblocks?  They're gonna have to
be on the same device anyway in order for the symlink to resolve
[i.e. the bootblocks know jack about where other devices will be
mounted!], why not just hard-link if you have to link at all?
