Hmmm... I thought this was a distro for people who KNOW what they're doing
;-)
Maybe, instead of creating such a symlink, there could be a short mention in
the docs about the path to the files being relative to /boot.
There are so many things newbies (of which I am one) have to learn the hard
way that this one, in comparison, is very minor.
