  | A fallback similar to the current implementation picking the first non-swap

The first netbsd style partition (not just non-swap) - no point trying
to make a NTFS or something into a root.

For GPT we should probably create a ROOT (with a longer name) flag, and
look first for the first partition with that set, before falling back to
the first.   But BOOTME is not the right flag to use, leave it for where
the boot info is found.
