That's why, as I said upthread, we need a /positive assertion that the
system has booted/.  We obviously won't get an indication of failure,
and nobody is suggesting that we should.  But during grub2, we can flag
that we've started booting, and later we can note success.  If grub2
starts and sees the first but not the second, we know there's been a
failure, and we can react as such.
