Feedback to the devel list here?

Using grml32small: I had never reported the CPU kernel options got a
bit to tight in 2013.09 the latest (cx8 and cmov were needed). You
reverted that on your own, and so a ten-year old VIA C3 based board
boots again. (Not that I really care, that box is no longer in
production.)

Just using it for a first test, on a probably not-that-common setup:
grml toram fetch=http://...

There are some messages from live-boot, all typos are mine:

Begin: Copying /etc/resolv.conf to /root/etc/resolv.conf ... cp: can't create '/root/etc/resolv.con': No such file or directory

Being: Preconfiguring networking ... /init: line 93: can't create /root/etc/resolv.conf: nonexistent directory.
sh: !: unknown operand
cat: can't open '/root/etc/resolv.conf': no such file or directory


A /etc/resolv.conf does exists after startup and it has sound content,
so perhaps this is rather cosmetical.

More tests to come.
