10 Did I ever mention, you can boot into these /<qual>/!?!
11
12 initrd context:
13 "mount root partition $ROOTDEV at $TARGET"
14 mkdir /fun
15 mount -o bind $TARGET/<qual> /fun
16 exec switch_root /fun /sbin/init
17
18 Mount output get's confusing about multiple lines
19 mentioning $ROOTDEV, esp. for init.d/fsck, but
20 IMHO fsck should be done in initrd, and not single-user mode
21 with read-only mount and with binaries from that broken partition.
22 - - other story.
23
24 Or have it on separate partition - like the traditional "I switch
25 distros" aproach.
