If you change the name of the kernel binary itself, loader won't be able
to find it. By renaming the /boot directory it goes into it is Doing the
Right Thing.
In 5.X, the "kernel" is the core kernel binary and the modules built with
it. All of it goes into the same directory. The /modules directory is
unused and should be deleted. When you specify a kernel to load in loader,
you ask for the /boot/foo directory name ("load foo") and loader does the
rest.
