Comment 12 for bug 537133

FYI,

I used debootstrap to create a root for my new development machine. I then spent two days trying to get it to boot. (all the howtos are useless, as they tell me it works after setting up dhcp tftpboot etc.

The conclusion for me was that remounting the root rw solved my problems. Where this is supposed to happen, I don't know. Adding the "nolock" to fstab was something I figured out on my own.

I wrote: remountroot.conf (with utterly too little knowledge to do this properly, but it works for me)

#
# hack by REW to remount the root
#
start on startup
description "remount root readwrite"

start on startup

task
exec mount -o remount,rw /
