7 I'm quite aware what you wrote. If you only read what I wrote... English
8 is not my native language but the word *may* surely cannot be

11 If *something1* at boot time requires access to *something2* at boot
12 time that isn't available then I would say that *something1* is broken
13 by design not the *something2*.

16 broken the "system".
