This is happening because the new version of ntfs-3g checks whether the
device is already mounted by looking in /etc/mtab, which doesn't exist,
so it gets confused. We could adjust ntfs-3g, but to be honest I think
the safest and simplest fix is to make /etc/mtab a symlink to
/proc/mounts in our initramfs.
