Hi, Gentoo.

My new(ish) amd64 system has two 1TB HDDs in a (software) RAID1, and
practically the entire system is under an LVM2.

I rather unwisely made this addition to the startup stuff:

    ls -s /usr/bin/svscanboot /etc/init.d/
    rc-update add svscanboot default

, and now the box hangs during boot up.

On the same box, I also have a "trial" installation which boots and I
still have the installation CD from about a year ago.

Would somebody please help me get into my system sufficiently to correct
my mistake on the boot scripts.  Pointing me in the direction of a fine
manual section would be regarded as help.

I feel Dale's reservations in a most painful fashion.

Thanks in advance for the help.
