And that '[', 'sh', 'mount' and 'umount' are all provided by busybox by default in the initramfs. This is just a shell script you can look at--you can unpack the initrd by hand if you want to inspect it. Note that you could, as documented in initramfs-tools(8), use the break=(top|bottom|init|...) to run a shell in the initramfs environment. This will allow you to look at what's wrong, e.g. are the programs/symlinks actually present? As Petter suggested, run update-initramfs to ensure it's up-to-date, and ensure that your system, busybox and initramfs-tools in particular, are definitely the correct current versions before doing it. WRT your comment about IRC, I don't have the time to do that, and I also can't be sure to reply in 24 hours--we're all volunteers here, and this is not paid technical support. Note that mail is archived and so others who may have the same problem will benefit from that where they would not with IRC. It also requires us to be available at the same time, and since Debian is a global project, that's often difficult. In consequence, IRC is not an efficient use of time since the same issue might need to be dealt with more than once with different people, and it's not amenable for others to participate, unlike public bug reports, which are a resource available to all, and preserve a historical record which will be useful for years to come.
