You need to enter config mode while the fs is booting
and type "allow".  That will, for that boot only, allow
you to change uids.  The uid isn't crucial, so you could
initialize without setting them (as long as they're getting
set to glenda or sys rather than none) and not worry about it.

I think the allow command is documented somewhere, but
I can't find it.
