Hi all!

I'm trying to overwrite busybox' mount with my own static mount.
I use 

        # genkernel --initramfs-overlay=$OVERLAY initrd

to do it. OVERLAY contains bin/mount and bin/umount. Now here's a test and the 
output:

        # zcat /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.20-gentoo | cpio -i

        > cpio: bin/mount not created: newer or same age version exists
        > 18089 blocks

and of course, it's mine that is older!
Is it a feature that the overlay "looks" older than initial files in the 
initramfs? Can't we just overwrite existing busybox links?

Besides, the initramfs prooves unusable at boottime (sorry, I don't have a 
screenshot: it fails on a kernel panic), while still okay to be chrooted into, 
when deployed as in the above test.
