Suggestion: What we need for boot creation is an editor that can look at 
a descriptor, obtain the driver that goes with it, and makes sure its in 
the bootlist. Or if we remove a descriptor, checks to see if its the 
last user of a driver and deletes in from the bootlist if it was. With 
context aware help, that would go a long way towards improving the user 
friendliness.
