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.
