Quick update: breaking in at the top, manually loading the loop and squashfs 
modules, and resuming, doesn't seem to work either, so perhaps this was a red 
herring. It seems there is no attempt to mount /root (because I also don't see 
any error messages from such a mount).

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how all the scripts fit together and 
how the mount proceeds; where should the mount actually happen? Presumably 
shortly after it mounts the NFS?
