Dave, I am not familiar with dracut internals. Two questions:
1. Will rd.break=cmdline cause the kernel to mount initramfs before dropping into the shell? I tried before "rdinit=/bin/sh". This forced the kernel to drop into a simple dash shell before /init was even started so not much useful. 2. Just saw you committed another patch in fstab-sys. You mentioned about mounting initramfs with --mount Dracut option. Is that the solution for the problem? Thanks.
