Finished the book, now I'm "smoke testing" the boot. The problem is
/var/log/bootlog can't be written because the FS is still RO. I'm not
so familiar with the LFS bootscripts, but I can see there's been a lot
of work on them for LSB. (Back at 4.1 I rewrote the "rc" scripts, and
used them in 6.1 & 6.6! ;-0 ) Honest, I haven't touched these LFS
bootscripts! When I get the RO failure the system locks up too. It
says press Enter or ^D, but nothing happens--gotta hit the reset button.
Known problem?
No. The bootscripts are supposed to write to /run which is a tmpfs
mounted in mountvirtfs (the very first script).
You need the entry in fstab to be:
tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0
Then the mountfs remounts / as rw.
Finally at the end of the bootscipts the rc script appends the boot.log
in /run (/run/var/bootlog) to /var/log/boot.log.
Note too that /var/run needs to be a symlink to /run.
