I like loader.rc: it's more obvious which boot component the file
relates to.
Since this has come up, I'd also be in favor of the following:
/boot.config -> /boot/boot2.conf
/boot.help -> /boot/boot2.help
This makes the boot.* files seem appropriately less important (they
*are* less important) and also cleans up / a little.
There tends to be confusion over the function and purpose of the
various new boot bits and pieces, so this is probably worth doing.
