I tried to start modconf manually on the second console and it
complained about /usr/share/something and failed directly.

I linked /target/usr/share -> /usr/share and then it gave the usual
segfaults and crashed the console. It wasn't possible to type anything
there anymore. Only ctrl-c gives you a new prompt one line down and a
bit more indented.
