Hi,

Attached patch makes the init script attempt to find an writable image
to use with Overlay/AUFS, and probably does so poorly.

The idea is to eventually allow users to do a "RESET" option in case
they mess up the system. The underlying image can be something read-only
like cramfs or squashfs.

Any comments or suggestions?
