</div>Next step would be to add some debugging to appliance/init to show<br>
what commands are being executed, and what's in the filesystem.<br>
<br>
Also if you do:<br>
<br>
$ ./run rescue/virt-rescue -a /dev/null<br>
<br>
then it may manage to get to a shell, in which case you can poke<br>
around in the appliance by hand.<br>
