We will just use the *first* one we find, like finding the UEFI ESP
(/boot) works with the firmware.

Mounting /home and / should be non-dangerous, nothing should choke
really if things go wrong.

We will not try to mount machine-local/specific stuff like /var or
/usr automatically, that would really end up in a mess if things get
mixed up.
