bootmisc needs "need root" dependency to make sure that drives are mounted read-write before trying to access them for temp file system actions. same story for swap for those of us using a swap file rather than a swap partition. in that exact situation, it results in a broken boot landing you to bash with a read only file system. (regardless if you want it read only or not) Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. install gentoo with JFS + swap file rather than partition. Actual Results: ugly nightmare. Expected Results: fresh shiny gentoo.
