Hi again,

the mount order "_write_out_mkfs_commands" uses seems to be the order in
which the partitions are listed in /etc/fstab. May be there should be a
hint in the manual and on the troubleshooting page that the order of
lines in /etc/fstab matters and that one has to put the root filesystem
on top.

Cheers
        Daniel
