A little while back I tried to setup a system that used a read-only root filesystem during regular operation and ran into some problems during boot. The first is that /etc needs to be read-write but init scripts break badly if /etc is not on the root filesystem (probably could be fixed in initramfs-tools). The second problem I had was that, before udev is ready, /dev needs to be writable (this was with sarge; maybe initramfs-tools already solves this).
I will do testing with etch if this is something that should work. -- GnuPG Key Fingerprint 86 F5 81 A5 D4 2E 1F 1C http://gnupg.org And that's my crabbing done for the day. Got it out of the way early, now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or strangle cute bunnies or something. -- Michael Devore
