Some progress has been made toward the goal of making
Debian easier to use with a read-only root filesystem.
Action has been taken to remove variable files from /etc/,
or at least to make it possible to do so locally, in the
following packages: cupsys, laptop-net, pppconfig, sysvinit.

this is not a problem due to devpts filesystem.
It may be a problem for /dev/cdrom. You can ignore it (use a sane cdrom

This patch makes mkdosfs accept a new option "-B" that allows it to make a
bootable partition. Requires that you give the filename of a file
