Public bug reported: I upgraded a raspberry pi 3B+ from disco (installed using the 32-bit bionic image and then upgraded successfully to cosmic and disco) to eoan, but it became unbootable - the initrd was unable to mount the root filesystem.
One caveat of my setup is that I migrated my root filesystem layout from ext4 to raid1 btrfs on two partitions. So in my /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt I had "rootfstype=btrfs rootflags=subvol=@". After the do-release-upgrade to eoan, cmdline.txt was gone, and the new nobtcmd.txt had the default "rootfstype=ext4" only. The fix was easy once the issue was clear.
