The kernel boots on my B1 BigSur, but it locks up as soon as I touch the
root file system after remounting it rw.  Sometimes I have SysRq access
for a few seconds, sometimes not.  No messages, no oops, just a good
solid hang.  Anyone else having trouble?

I booted up with init=/bin/bash and followed along with
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. 

mount -n -o remount,rw /	// Works fine
>/etc/mtab			// locks the system. 

I tried "rm /etc/mtab" for the fun of it (after remounting) and it
locked, but after the system came back up and fscked it found the
unlinked inode and placed it in /lost+found is all data intact.  

Anyone else running into problems?
