The script /usr/sbin/update-initramfs checks if /boot is mounted read-only,
and aborts if so. Unfortunately, the test also triggers in other cases,
e.g. on option errors=continue (because this phrase contains 'ro').
A simple fix (check for 'ro' delimited by commas or the begging or the
end of options string):
