I feel like ignoring errors and just continuing seems helpful, but it's
actually doing the users a disservice.  If it's an error during, boot
that's different, in that case it's better to get some kind of minimally
useful boot so the user can debug the problem.  But if the error isn't
going to prevent the system from booting then it's better to just return
an error so they can fix the problem and try again.
