    * Recognize the use case of working with a pre-existing image, and abort the script if the image is not found, rather than creating a new, blank image.
    * Protect a master boot image that will not boot read-only by creating a scratch copy and booting the copy instead.
    * Recognize the use case of creating a new, blank image, but preserving any pre-existing image files of the same name.
* boot OS/8 on an arbitrary attached device image.
