I am sending this again for the benefit of others seeing this problem:
It is apparently a timing problem for whatever reason.
I changed /etc/rcS.d/S05initrd-tools.sh to do a "lazy" umount and it seems OK.
After bootup, there is no /initrd in /etc/mtab.
The line will read, for now:
umount -l /in

I received a lot of quick feedback on this problem that really helped. I
had too many processes open that I had not accounted for. On both tty1 and
tty2 I repeatedly entered the command "exit" until I was able to identify
jobs that had been stopped. After terminating these I was able to umount

Try
lsof +D /somedir
Note the use of uppercase "D". Lowercase "D" won't search subdirs of the
directory. Note that on a large filesystem, this can take a long time!

Unmounting is also impossible if your current directory is somewhere
in mounted file system.

I think that it can be a sily question .. but I can't remember howto do
it
If somebody has left a process with an open file on a mount filesystem
or a shell with the pwd on it... how can I (root) discover the process
to get the filesystem unmounted without the
"umount: /filesystem: device is busy
