Previous version of initscripts is also broken even if consequences are not so dire. I did some investigations. In /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit there are lines which say: # Enter mounted filesystems into /etc/mtab mount -a -f Put directly before that 'mount -a' (without quotes, of course). This does not solve all troubles but at least makes a system bootable (even if you will notice such "details" like possibly a missing entry for '/' in /etc/mtab and that also means that '/' will not show up in an output of 'df'; this can be fixed too but I do not see a "one-liner").
