Then how are you going to tune the boot process as I know it would
require writing to the filesystem.
I'm not aware of us needing to write to the root filesystem during
boot (well, there is one place where we do 'mkdir -p /sysroot' but
that can be fixed).
However there is an issue that we modify configuration files in the
daemon, in particular /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, which would require either
making this directory a tmpfs or using some other method to make root
writable.
