As mentioned in the original report, the *boot? devices apparently read-only and as such should not be in the list in the first place, so this fix masks the presumed bug in parted_devices.c:process_device
I don't suppose that it really matters though, since we'll just be left
filtering out a device that should never be listed, but for tidiness
sake this should be removed if parted_devices.c is debugged and fixed.
Also, perhaps the bug should be left open, or a new one opened,
regarding the listing of read-only devices.
