Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately I don't have a serial console (do
you have any idea where I can get one around paris ? ). However I'll be
courious to adapt your work in my setting. In particular it seems I'm
just not able to lunch do pivot_root and init .

this is my first attempt:
------------------
#!/bin/sh

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md1 pvcrypt
/etc/init.d/lvm2 start
mount /dev/qnap/system target
cd target
/sbin/pivot_root . initrd
exec init 2
------------------

an you give me a basic recipie ?

Something not related: does the beeper work ? I tried to use "beep"
but the box doesn't beep at all...

:)
