This appears to be fixed in 1439, announced just
4mins after your post :-)

Looks like the damn stateless linux thing is failing
to restore files in /etc/rc.sysinit.

We need to add cpio manually to the list of packages
in pilgrim.  I don't have write access to the version
that gets used in the joyride builds.

Scott, could you please do it?

So we also need to add find back.

Yes :-(

I'm surprised how much stuff was installed only as a consequence
of mkinitrd.  The Fedora people should be informed of this
problem, as it is likely to bite on every embedded distro
based off Fedora.
