the bootloop was because there were so many directories on the sd card
that it wouldn't complete fsck before a system watchdog expired.

the hidden partition was not mounted; it was the normal partition,
remounting. i'd forgotten the key was on the root folder; i must
rarely use the files view.

i don't why it remounted, but it was mostly coincidence that this was
the first moment it remounted since the watchdog threshold regarding
number of directories was reached.
