So it doesn't matter what is in /boot after flash has been loaded by flash-kernel? Redboot systems boot only and directly from flash so /boot is only a convenient and conventional initial staging post for flash-kernel to get the kernel and initramfs from and is irrelevant from that point on?
Am I understanding right?
