I have alread made this happen. 

I copied over a working foot filesystem and edited the fstab.

The only funny thing I needed to do was to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to
fix the disk checking lines.


The section I changed in rc.sysinit looked like: 
ROOTFSTYPE=`awk ''/ \/ / && ($3 !~ /rootfs/) { print $3
}'' /proc/mounts`
if [ -z "$fastboot" -a "X$ROOTFSTYPE" != "Xnfs" ];
then

        STRING=$"Checking root filesystem"
        echo $STRING
        initlog -c "fsck -T -a / $fsckoptions"
        rc=$?

        if [ "$rc" = "0" ]; then
                success "$STRING"
                echo
        elif [ "$rc" = "1" ]; then
                passed "$STRING"
                echo
        fi


I changed it to:

ROOTFSTYPE=`awk ''/ \/ / && ($3 !~ /rootfs/) { print $3
}'' /proc/mounts`
if [ -z "$fastboot" -a "X$ROOTFSTYPE" != "Xnfs" ];
then

        STRING=$"Checking root filesystem"
        echo $STRING
#        initlog -c "fsck -T -a / $fsckoptions"
#        rc=$?
        rc=0

        if [ "$rc" = "0" ]; then
                success "$STRING"
                echo
        elif [ "$rc" = "1" ]; then
                passed "$STRING"
                echo
        fi


There was a problem with the init thinking that the disk was bad all of
the time. This fixed it and allowed the system to boot.

Good luck.
