searches on the boot device.

Oh, I don't need the on_bootdev stuff. Simplify.

Oh, don't make silly changes, so we're down to main.c only now.

This will make two declarations better coupled together.

Didn't you you want to skip entries that don't match the condition instead of breaking the cycle? What if next entry is actually the one we want?

Now that I've seen your change to D55094, I see that there is no difference between breaking the cycle or skipping entries. So whatever works. But in case if you prefer breaking the cycle, I will suggest to put a comment explaining why we sure that no good entry is there in the list, referencing the other file.

I think that continue w/o head-insert is better and simpler, so I'll do that. Thanks for the suggestion.
