27 Works for me. For a certain definition of "works". It boots but cannot
28 mount tmpfs for /run. After that, openrc throws me to a login screen
29 with a read-only root partition.

31 Only changes I made was changing the CPU type to intel, adding a few
32 crypto algorithms and adding btrfs in case the boot process got far
33 enough to try /etc/init.d/localmount. Root is ext4.
34
35 What init system are you using?
