Perhaps...
Just reporting what happens if .onfail panic is changed to .onfail retry.
- if a mounting of a manually entered fs fails, then a value in
vfs.mountroot.from
would be retried before presenting the prompt again
- the above happens regardless of whether -a option was given or mounting of
${vfs.mountroot.from} failed
- there is no way of the prompt (as you noted above) - previously an empty input
was the way out
So, even if .onfail retry is an improvement comparing to .onfail panic, it's
still
a regression comparing to the previous behavior.
