Description

If the cmdline arg pnosqash is found then the init script shouldn't boot via squashfs/overlay. Instead, the rootfs will be fully expanded already and we can just switch_root to that.

This doesn't appear to be necessary. The mkinstall script skips the initramfs installation to the SD card if -o is not used. That causes the kernel command line in cmdline.txt to boot the rootfs from the 2nd partition. So this just works, as is.

Rejecting issue.
