I think /etc or /boot is the right place and IIRC pjd had a reason why
/etc was right. The problem with /var/db is that's it's not available
until fairly late in the boot and hostid is needed for non-root disks.
It's worth remembering that in the normal

The main purpose of this script is to use UUID given via SMBIOS when
it's valid and you just removed the code responsible for correctness
checking.
I already addressed that in my response to des.
