[Voyage-linux] Fwd: Errors during boot of 0.9.1 on ALIX

[Teco Boot]

> The code is to change the inittab serial console settings in initramfs stage.  The codes lies in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/25serial_inittab.  I didn't notice this error since serial console is working properly?


4a)
The nomfgpt kernel option shouldn't be displayed in DEFCONSOLE
Probably fix for upstream.


4b)
The /root is read-only, so can't be changed by sed.
Checked with mount command, just before the sed command:
   /dev/disk/by-label/VOYAGE_FS on /root type ext2 (ro,relatime,errors=continue)
   sed: can't create temp file '/root/etc/inittabEAqLo1': Read-only file system
Is this a Debian Live of Voyage bug?
If we don't want to update because /root is readonly, 25serial_inittab can terminate based on readonly flag. Also skip  autoinstall when taking that road?


Results after patches:
DEFCONSOLE=console=ttyS0,115200n8
LIVE_GETTY=
AUTOINSTALL=
Setting Serial Port to ttyS0 115200
done.
