Colleagues,

Today I successfully shoot myself in the foot by typing

make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTKERNNAME=

instead of usual

make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTKERNNAME=GENERIC

Empty INSTKERNNAME leads to wiping /boot completely - rather annoying, 
especially in my case, where I had some non-trivial (and, of course, no backups 
;-) loader.conf

What do you think about the following patch?

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                     [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
