Should we enumerate all the possible device types, e.g. include
bootcmd_sata0, bootcmd_ide0, ...?
We should definitely mention that bootcmd_usb is an internal
implementation detail even though bootcmd_usb0 is a command that we
intend users to run. In the text, perhaps rephrase bootcmd_<target> as
bootcmd_<devtype><devnum>, and note that <devnum> is not optional in the
command name?
