Which also means that for boot-strap you need to create a correct fully populated binary dump of all the file system in the system. A dump which is sane which regards to capabilities and user capabilities .... It is a little like kick-starting a database system ie writing the system database (pg_system) into such a state that is it possible to correctly run for example: --- create tablespace 'stefan'; create schema 'pg'; --- and so on...
