You must be smoking something really strong. It is never a good default for any program to open a raw partition and write something to it, based upon incomplete information. All the installboot uses in the tree already know what disk and partition to write to, and I can assure you it is not the root partition, it tends to be a vnd0. They are all explicit. You can be explicit also.
