You're right of course. I didn't even think that far through it. While it is
handy to be able to read LVM directly so you can put your kernel on /root, but
you still need to run vgchange to bring things up before you can mount anything.
But I've been spoiled by internal flash/USB; I just slap my kernel on something
I know the BIOS can read and don't even pretend the machine will boot directly
off the disks.
