  | No, it uses filesystem reading code.

  | Please comment on the appended patch.

I'm not convinced that unconditionally overwriting "/boot" (or variants)
as part of extracting the `base' set is a good idea, especially if the
first and second stage bootblocks even have a situation where they
need to be installed in "sync".

(The only platforms that support this now are: atari (recent), mipsco
(inspired by pmax?), pmax, and vax.)

In any case, even if you do this, /usr/mdec/boot.amiga should be
retained (and not obsoleted).
