On pretty much any system you can tell if a drive is local or not, albeit in a system specific way.
That would be cool. However I don't see much justification around verifying for sure if a path is on the network. After all it's just a warning message, not a error.

It's very easy to check on windows (in shell, adjust appropriately for makefile):
   net use j: > /dev/null 2>&1
   if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
     # local drive
   else
     # remote drive
   fi

If you want to be fancy you could grep the output of net use for "Remote Resource" or something..
Thanks Dmitri. That's totally correct. But still I don't consider it as a requirement. If we were to prohibit using a network-located BOOTDIR, then this would be a must. Currently this just seems like an overkill for such a tiny fix.
