   Thanks, that particular machine is a test system so I tried it.  It   
   still boots with no problems but I won't see if it really helped until   
   the next kernel comes along.   
   It's my only pre-UEFI system and has been running since 2010, which is   
   why the /boot is sized the way it is.
