Hmm, why was this necessary?  In baselayout 1.12.5-r2, the checkroot
script will already remount the root filesystem as rw if necessary,
and the /sbin/rc script will do a "start_addon evms" after starting
checkroot and modules, if evms appears in RC_VOLUME_ORDER in
/etc/conf.d/rc.

My checkfs doesn't have anything related to evms to begin with...

Could it have already been activated by the initrd?

Probably because you have evms in RC_VOLUME_ORDER in /etc/conf.d/rc,
which causes /sbin/rc to do a "start_addon evms" right after
checkroot.
