The environments I have here have fstabs that don't change for years, while kernel \
updates happen monthly at least. Even more important, it's not necessary that the \
fstab in initrd is always up to date; it only needs the entries for the base OS \
(sometimes called the TCB). Once you have the environment that allows a "mkinitrd" \
consistently you can fix all the other problems.
