I changed sysvinit to check for /mem in /etc/fstab.
You now have 3 options:
1. everything as is, no changes
2. /mem entry in fstab with a ram based filesystem
3. /mem a physical filesystem that gets fscked too
You further have another 3 options:
1. everything as is , / rw
2. /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts , / ro or rw
3. /etc/mtab -> /mem/state/mtab, /mem rw (can be /)
/mem/state/mtab is arbitrary and is never used directly. In Fact any
/etc/mtab link should work.
