 When upgrading from a previous XO build to 11.3.0/883 or 11.2.0/874 on
 XO-1.5, we get stuck for a long time on both XO-1 and 1.5 waiting for the
 boot arrow to go past the first dot.

 But switching to the text console via Alt-F1 to figure out why may lead to
 a crash.  The next boot seems to work properly.  So far I have reproduced
 this twice without failing to see it.

 The following is seen on the text console after the initial kernel
 messages:

 {{{
 Purging old versions, boot may be slightly delayed...
 umount: can't umount  /vsysroot/dev: Device or resource busy
 umount: can't umount /sysroot: Device or resource busy
 Failure condition in initramfs

 Signal caught!

 Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
