Hi there. These patches allow using firstboot and sysusers together to construct an initramfs with a fully functional emergency.service and rescue.service.
Moreover, they allow to build a "clean" passwd for the initramfs and don't resort to copying it from the host system (as it has been done in Arch's mkinitcpio). The first one allows sysusers to take configuration from the real root but to apply it to a specified alternate root. The next two patches fix an apparent integration problem between firstboot and sysusers, as previously described here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028355.html All in all, with this series I'm able to do a simple systemd-firstboot --root="$BUILDROOT" --root-password="" systemd-sysusers --dest-root="$BUILDROOT" and, after adding respective units and /sbin/sulogin to the initramfs, to use "rd.systemd.unit=rescue.target" as a complete alternative to pre-systemd arch-specific "break=premount" kernel parameter.
