Actually, with /usr/sbin/installboot, the second stage bootstrap
(/boot or /boot.${MACHINE}) is expected to be in-place beforehand.
I.e, it doesn't have the ability (nor should it) to write files
to a file system; only to frob bootblocks at the start of a file
system or file system image.

What's the issue? We use ${INSTALL_FILE} in many other places.

I'm curious to as why the base set on the amiga provides /boot;
I don't think any other port does that.  "Whatever" :-)
