11 Since I can not find /proc/mtab I assume you mean /etc/mtab.
12 # cat /etc/mtab
13 /dev/sdc1 /home ext4 rw 0 0
14 /dev/sdc2 /var ext4 rw 0 0
15 /dev/sda3 / none rw 0 0
16 /dev/sda2 /boot vfat rw 0 0

28 For generating the initramfs I loosely followed the "Configuring the Linux kernel" chapter of the handbook, as well as the "EFI stub kernel" Wiki-page:
29 # genkernel --no-compress-initramfs --install initramfs
30
31 The initramfs gets compiled into the kernel via CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD (CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE).

35 Since the root-partition is mounted read-only I can't provide any log files. Also despite not shown /dev, /proc and /sys seem to be populated, but emerge doesn't seem to be happy with it:
36 # emerge
37 Failed to validate a sane '/dev'
38 bash process sibstitution doesn't work; this may be an indication of a broken '/dev/fd'
