I'll take a look at this.
#2
The immediate cause of the strange messages is that the arguments are not correct because "hda:0" is indeed not a valid block device name. The real device name is probably "hda0".
The message about "hda:0" being an unknown device is in fact correct.
The message about "-b" being an unknown device happens because the parser tries a branch in the syntax in which there are no options. In this case, the "-b" token would need to be a device name. The parser has therefore asked DeviceArgument to "accept" this token, this has failed, and the parser has reported the failure.
I think I may be able to improve this behavior ...

I've checked in a "fix" which improves the error messages in this case. Please let me know if it makes the messages worse in other cases.
