-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 We are using our own script called build.sh [1] to re-bundle the Ubuntu
 AMI with Tor and some other packages.

 Building and publishing a Tor image isn't a problem, but an EC2 instance
 running the Tor image will fail to boot. It seems like the Tor image is
 given the wrong filesystem label.

 When trying to boot, the system complains that it can't find the root
 device and then drops to a busybox shell. The filesystem label it should
 have is "uec-rootfs". The filesystem label it gets when we re-bundle it is
 "cloudimg-rootfs".
