Uh, I am even more confused. When I tried to use bootinfo.booted_kernel to get
the
name of the kernel, it did contain only the last component and didn't contain
any
slash. I have had a code that deal with all the cases I could imagine, but
decided
to not commit it as it looks too large for such a simple job.

Perhaps. It seems like boot1 used /boot/boot2 at some point. I don't have this file
here :-).
