We have DESTLABEL variable (see build(7)); with which, If specified, things
go to
${DESTDIR}/boot/kernel.${DESTLABEL} and
${DESTDIR}/boot/modules.${DESTLABEL},
respectively. I believe that the idea was to be able to specify this
${DESTLABEL} in the boot loader, for example,
OK boot ${DESTLABEL} # or maybe .${DESTLABEL}
and $kernel and $module_path are set up to point to those locations.
I'm not sure how to do this in Forth, though.
/boot/<directory> is fine as well, but it could be useful if we have
some make variables for installkernel target to point to where old
kernel/modules should go or where new kernel/modules should be installed.
