OK, but we do need that to be more than just an 'are you sure?' dialog -
as it needs to also work for automatic boot.
So, how about this:
 - add a NVRAM-based setting to disable pre-boot checks
   "petitboot,disable-boot-checks"
 - add a facility to the config UI screen to set the above (but have it 
   default to checks enabled)
 - have the pre-boot verification stop the boot, but disabled through
   that setting.
How does that sound?
Cheers,
Jeremy
