INSTKERNNAME= foolproof check

Colleagues,
Today I successfully shoot myself in the foot by typing
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTKERNNAME=
instead of usual
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTKERNNAME=GENERIC
Empty INSTKERNNAME leads to wiping /boot completely - rather annoying,
especially in my case, where I had some non-trivial (and, of course, no backups
;-) loader.conf
What do you think about the following patch?
Sincerely,
D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
