> If one has a operating-system file-system with (check? #t) but (needed-for-boot 
> #f), the next boot after reconfiguring will boot into a Guile REPL because the 
> initrd doesn't contain the fsck tool for that file system (because all the 
> file-systems with (needed-for-boot #f) have been filtered out). Therefore, the

> - If (check? #t) but (needed-for-boot? #f), don't check anyway
