It was a busy weekend, so no real progress. But I'm thinking the bootloader doesn't support this configuration, or needs to be configured differently. Some cursory examination of the filesystem didn't reveal what bootloader is being used. (Perhaps having a monitor attached will help! I will be doing that, when I get a chance.)
My understanding of bootloaders is limited, I guess, because I don't understand why the bootloader needs to understand the root filesystem. It just loads the kernel and passes some information about where to look, and then the kernel decodes the filesystem, or so I thought. Or maybe that's true, and any bootloader can be configured to pass the correct information to the kernel.
