Persistent with nofiles boots. However, nothing from cpio.gz appears after 
boot. Adding debug=1 and log with nofiles didn't provide clues. Files 
in cpio were created 1/9/2012.

Per http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2011/11/msg00148.html (nofiles && 
cryptsetup) were | are | will go away. Since I could not discern if code 
pushed in email got into grml I droped "=nofiles".

If the code ref. in email is in grml this may be issue in up stream. And, 
our wiki page on persistent needs more work. I would draft it after I 
verify how it now works.

Persistent alone (with debug=1 & log only) drops to busybox shell (screen 
print attached). I copied live-boot.log at that point. After <ctrl>D machine 
locks up also attached.

P.S. My goal is to have b43 firmware into system early for machine where 
that is only outside link. And, when luks persistent is automounting 
eliminate second usb for encrypted /etc & /home.

Thx again for all your hard work,
Charles
