I rebuilt the initrd, and the cluster.conf that ends up in
/var/comoonics/chroot/etc/cluster/cluster.conf
is NOT the same as the one in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf

It seems to me that cluster.conf ends up getting rebuilt and mangled by 
mkinitrd before it is folded into the initrd.

Not sure I follow what you mean. What rpm?

Run this on the booted system? What does the bootsr service do?
