can't open is warmer than DEFAULT CATCH. DEFAULT CATCH is what I get
when I forget to turn the power on to my external disk and try to boot
from it, so it means OF is completely mystified. At least with can't
open it's finding the device, but probably not a correct boot block.
If it finds the partition but can't boot from it, it will also say
that.
