Boot assumes that it is run as root, and assumes that quite thoroughly.
You need to have boot simply not even *try* to open such a device.  Note
that boot isn't calling your servers at all.  It calls the ones of its
containing environment.

I assume that store_parsed_open fails because it doesn't have
permissions on the underlying /dev node.
