This looked suspicious, even before I read the code.
The question is if it is ever legitimate for bdv to be NULL.
infact, bdv has already been dereferenced at this point:
the assignment to bootname 3 lines up.
So, if we're going to insert a KASSERT() we would need to separate
the assignment from bootname's declaration, and do the assignment
after the KASSERT()
