Hi,

I'm having trouble following the new style scripts to figure out just exactly the steps/order of how the union is setup.

On first boot, the squashfs is mounted as rootfs and /jffs and /rom are empty (original squashfs).

I know how /jffs is mounted.

I don't know how/when the /rom mount point gets populated with the contents of the original squashfs?

I don't fully understand how the union is established but found mount -t mini_fo -o base=/,sto=/jffs "mini_fo:/jffs" /mnt
I don't know why /mnt is included above.

Do I have to move /proc etc.?

When is pivot_root called?

I've searched the forum and I've found information that hits all around what I'm looking (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/preinit_mount) for but no step-by-step explanation of how the union gets set up.

I've been trying to unwind the scripts but I'm missing something and haven't fully figured out the order things happen.
