Use 'cat' rather than 'cp' to put /boot on disk. This preserves
/boot's i-node number and allows multiboot (NTLDR) setups to work
across upgrades. Suggested by Tom Cosgrove and Todd Miller.
NOTE: Will only work if preserved biosboot is an LBA biosboot. i.e.
won't work for 3.4 -> 3.5 upgrade because LBA biosboot went in
post-3.4.
