Probably because the dbootstrap running on /dev/console (in this case
tty1) still had the files on question open for rw. I'm trying to figure
out what the problem is. For now the workaround seems to be switch to
tty2, run 'ps' to get dbootstrap's pid, then, if you next run 'kill
<dbootstrap's pid>', then init will respawn dbootstrap, and all will be
well.
/me mumbles appologies to all,
