OK.  FWIW, the nokia_rx51 script boots the system a number of ways.
While it would be great if this was part of pytest, that might be
a lot harder than just making more simple script to deal with grabbing
an image and ensuring the system boots in the right way.  Once we've got
a few of these, we can then see what a more general solution looks like.
