Just out of curiousity, is it possible for, say, disk.sys or a scsi miniport to write values to its service key in the registry before any of the actual volume device objects have been created by ftdisk.sys and dmio.sys? If so, what happens to these writes? Are they held until the volume device objects are created or are they actually committed to the media?

the changes are made in memory until such time as the system hive can be
reconnected to its on-disk representation. They’re held until after the
volumes are created since the file systems still have to be given a
chance to mount and we have to check them for consistancy.
