I believe the issue is that the boot media mount point name during
boot stage is different from what it is when running.

I think the setup-bootable now sets alpine_dev=UUID=<uuid>:vfat and
causes the disk mounted at /media/UUID=<uuid> during boot. If fstab
happens to have the mount point named /media/usb they'll mismatch.
Change boot parameter to alpine_dev=usbdisk:xxx or remove the fstab
entry so that the boot media is kept in /media/UUID=<uuid> (and repoint
the /etc/apk/cache there).

This apparently is a mismatch with the initramfs scripts, and the
setup-bootable script. And needs to be fixed somewhere. Either making
the boot device naming consistent. Or making initramfs script repoint
apk cache to the correct place during boot.

Thanks,
Timo
