Instead of searching a hard-coded list of partitions, I think it'd be
better to have the script automatically determine which partition to
boot from based on the partition tables' bootable flag or partition
type. I had always intended these scripts to do that, but never got
around to doing it. I think the $dev:$part syntax already chooses the
first partition marked bootable if you don't specify a partition. Would
that work?
