I can now do the first 3 steps with /boot mounted on the palo partition.
At step 4 I run into a problem:
- it is not possible to run palo on a mounted partition
- if I unmount it and run it without '--format-as=2', the existing
ext2 file system is lost
- if I unmount it and run it with '--format-as=2', the partition is
formatted again and existing data is lost too
It appears that the -U option was intended for this use case, but that has
been disabled and looks to be abandoned.
Hmm, I have no problem running palo with -U on a mounted partition:
