The bacula rescue cd build from source without problems. Using
the cd is something else. When booting from the rescue cd the
devices were not built. The problem was with the init script below.
The partition.hda script failed the partition the disk. The problem
was with the sfdisk.make.hda.bsi file below.
I am using Redhat Enterprise Linux var. 4
FILE: roottree/init (/init after booting)
The line with the comment at the end is the problem.

(/bacula-hostname/diskinfo/sfdisk.make.hda.bsi after booting)
With the first three lines in place the partition.hda script will not
work.
Remove the first three lines and it works just fine.
