This wont fix it, and can't. I've found that the problem stems from how
and when the root fs is remounted read-write. We are going to have to make
init remount the root fs read-write, before it runs any of the scripts.
This is also causing the problem with the console and other tty's. Trying
to open up a device read/write, when the filesystem is read-only.
I will look at this tomorrow along with the new change-root patch.
