That looks fine so far.

This sounds like very bad reasoning to me. The Dockstar has a machine-id
assigned, if the bootloader is broken, people should either use a
working version, or fix the current one.
Also, using the memory-size to differ between these two machines sounds
like something thats doomed to fail in the future.
