+              body: >
+                At this moment the kexec initrd script is skipped when
+                ROOTFS_DIR
+
+                is not defined or if the new rootfs is mounted, but does not
+                contain
+
+                a kernel image in the expected place. This is undesirable as we
+
+                assume this is the last script executed by the balena
+                bootloader.
+
+
+                This patch makes the kexec script always execute in the balena
+
+                bootloader and makes it fail hard in unexpected states, which
+                means
+
+                the script is always an exit point for the balena bootloader,
+
+                whether the actual kexec call succeeds or not.
