I booted with init! I mounted the root-fs r/w with my own two fists!
I set some paths, started update, and compiled the kernel.
I dismounted the drive.
I booted with init and fscked the drive. It was fine.
I mounted the root-fs r/w, enabled swap, started update, then compiled the
kernel.
I dismounted the drive.
I booted with init and fscked the drive. It was bad. Very bad.
It is repeatable on three systems.

Cheers,
