It throws a kernel panic and scrolls everyting else out of screen.  No
chance to scroll back.  It's really annoying to debug initrd bugs. :(

But ipconfig isn't the only problem inside this initrd.  This whole
thing needs to be fixed.  It may help to replace ipconfig.  As everybody
is able to read the scripts/live comment:

    # this is tricky (and ugly) because ipconfig sometimes just hangs/runs into
    # an endless loop; iff execution fails give it two further tries, that's
    # why we use '$devlist $devlist $devlist' for the other for loop

This is crap and should be fixed.
