Fair enough. Certainly, if it is an unionfs error, we need to respond
appropriately. I just didn't think building a full CD with an entire
different concept behind it fit the circumstances.

Again, fair enough. It probably is a good idea to have one available in
the archives.

Well, I intend to go over the C code line by line to look for trouble
spots. Anyone else with experience with C is most definitely welcome to
help. :) And I think it would be good to make a few (not necessarily
working) isos that are intended just to boot and pass control to a
/sbin/init file (perhaps a shell script, or a simple binary that echos
output). Then pass that tiny iso on to the people that have had troubles
and ask them to see if they get the expected output from /sbin/init.

Just a few thoughts...
