What about the various arguments that the 'linux' style bootloader
needs? At least the kernel, initrd, the root partition of the kernel
and the appended arguments to the kernel are required.
I know that the first version of the os-discoverer will not use all
these arguments, but they must exist in the specification, or we will
have to change it later.
