Most of this UKC looks like a Good Thing to me. But this part of
it...well, let's just say I'd really hope that there's a way to be
prompted for the name of this file (perhaps if RB_ASKNAME?), and a way
to suppress it entirely (perhaps by asking for "none"?). Files in
magic locations tend to be a Bad Thing - especially if, when corrupt,
they can totally screw the boot process.
