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?
