One lingering question is how OFW deals with mounting/unmounting.
I know that some words (in some contexts?) cause the disk to be
mounted, then the command to be executed, then the disk unmounted.

Will the previously attached code cause a lot of mounts/unmounts? I'm
particularly worried that it would slow down boot noticably. The ideal
of course is that it only gets mounted once, before this code
executes.

Thanks,
Daniel
