This needs to be investigated by Dan, as I requested in the report.
It's just a matter of looking at what is really happening in the
initramfs with e.g. break=init-bottom.

I'll clone this into a separate bug against df/coreutils for Joey's
rootfs patch.  The bug is not a bug in initscripts; it should be
reassigned to klibc, busybox or initramfs-tools as appropriate.


Thanks,
Roger
