Bug Description
Binary package hint: sysvinit
At boot on a Cell system:
/etc/
/etc/
This is because those binaries are in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin respectively, neither of which is in the PATH explicitly set at the top of mountkernfs.sh. However, setting the PATH may be the wrong approach; surely we shouldn't be relying on binaries in /usr at that point. Can we create the group at some other time?

I've changed user-setup to create the spu group in the installer. This warning will still be visible at boot unless the initscript is changed (I recommend just removing the getent/groupadd block), but it will be harmless assuming that you're using a new enough installer.
