And how are you so sure about that? It could very well be an incorrect
kernel command line or a missing config in the kernel. So don't jump
to conclusions.

This is a busybox build and it's spawning a shell on startup:

::askfirst:-/bin/onie-console

Where onie-console is:

cat bin/onie-console
#!/bin/sh

cat /etc/issue
exec /bin/sh -l

This is being run from the initrd image.

And how is this related to the filesystem?

Thanks for your time.
