How do you know it's being mounted as ext2?

Note that there are two root filesystems: one for the early bootup
environment (populated from the initrd file). That one *is* mounted as
ext2, since it isn't supposed to be changed: its contents will be thrown
away and recreated at next boot from the initrd file.

What does the output of mount tell you?

Which devices?
