Public bug reported:
grep as implemented in busybox and used in initramfs does not support -w
option that's used in the script.
I saw it passing randomly on the screen a couple of times during the
boot.
./grep -w
./grep: invalid option -- w
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu2) multi-call binary
Usage: grep [-ihHnqvsEABC] PATTERN [FILEs...]
Search for PATTERN in each FILE or standard input.
[SNIP]
