Hello Chris,

it is a Virtual-Box-VM. It is a BIOS system

The mount works.
After entering "exit" I get the feedback "logout" and the system hangs.

dracut -f That'll rebuild the initramfs.

And dracut then somehow understands that btrfs dev scan is needed?

That's way beyond my understanding. I am not sure how this entry is 
generated. But it is somehow a default behavior, as it seems (I have not 
done this)

Greetings,
