About sending in patches: Yes, I want to do that:-) The problem is that
I start modifying and only when I am done I remember that I wanted to
send a patch and do not have the original files around anymore...

About "-n": That option prevents mount from writing to /etc/mtab. Since
/ is mounted readonly at that point this seems sensible to me. If / is
writeable already then adding -n does not hurt as /etc/init.d/mtab.sh
will add the entry later. The init.d scripts do the same thing, so I
assumed this was forgotten and added it.

About commenting out the timestamp: I commented it out mostly because I
wasn't sure what that line is meant to do and ran into some trouble
testing this stuff. I forgot to comment it in later.

Something else: I get a message along the lines of "/dev/zero can not be
mmaped" at startup and shutdown and am not sure that this is related to
my changes... serious testing of these changes is recommended.
