The boot logic has no way of knowing whether or not a valid kernel is on
the card. I was under the impression that if you don't have any 0xDA
partitions it shouldn't try to boot anything, so if you want to leave
the card in at boot just partition it without these - Jesse is this
correct? So basically if it sees something it thinks could be the
kernel it will try to boot it. If there is nothing in the slot, then it
will skip to the next device.
