True, but during installations with `grub-install` that file is
installed there (on disk installations this path is relative to the HFS
bootstrap partition, so `/boot/grub//System/Library/CoreServices/BootX`
is the full path for on-disk installations) anyhow. I think this is to
get GRUB booted via the `mac-boot` command in OF.
