You are right. Solution: keep your boots simple and documented. Try them from time to time too. I assume some common formats do not change, but it is good to keep some side-notes how to run the thing and what hardware to emulate. I use Linux because it is open source and boots with broadest hardware range possible - I am sure it will run on emulator of 2010-most popular PC platform in few decades.
