The workaround for this bug is to create a /etc/redhat-release file, of
the approximate format "Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)", for any OS
installed on the system which has a /etc/fstab file but
no /etc/redhat-release file. Sounds dumb, but it works. bcl says he'll
try and remember to stick an updates.img in the bug soon for people to
use instead.
