 When you do the fast boot, you are actually booting to an initrd
with the Debian parts of filesystem mounted read-only. After
modifying the /linuxrc shell script on the initrd, run the "save"
command to save the initrd back to the SD card, otherwise your
changes won't "stick".
>>

If you are doing fastboot and are still in initrd you should try to
verify that you have what you expect on the sdcard. The initrd is a
compressed system image loaded into memory. It is not your SD
filesystem. Since it is mounted use mount to find out where and
inspect its contents. It sounds like you do not have a valid
filesystem to load when you exit initrd.
