Thanks.

That would however mean fiddling with the boot code in the initrd image. 
I'd like to try and avoid that. Mistakes can easily render the system 
unbootable.

I think that the next-best thing is to move the creation of the 
/fastboot file down to just before the read-only remount of the root 
file system, so that the probability of an unclean shutdown after the 
creation of /fastboot (which was quite small already) is vastly reduced.

Thanks again.
