I created a video to see kernel messages on the screen before they go quickly off and saw this on playback:
1)
Ignoring swap partition(s) seek as requested
This means noswap bootcode did its thing. But when I run `free -m`, I still see swap reserving 100MB of space. So not sure what's happening here.
2)
Skipping restore as requested from the command line
I also don't see any message "backing up" when rebooting even though I have not changed the .profile file yet. So `norestore` bootcode must be effectively disabling both backup and restore functionality. Right?
3)
Also, I am now seeing this error, before I get the logged in prompt:
Loading extensions...

Traceback (most recent call last):

Because of this no extension is loaded from onboot.lst
