i have done many many tests with /boot partitions for testing the Make
Bootable functions on powerpc, i have never observed this behavior.
im not sure if i ever left a shell sitting with its cwd in /target or
not, but that shouldn't matter since all procesess are alegedly being
killed before the umount happens
