Works fine ... Looking at "ls -l /dev/vc*" I see timestamps of "2010-02-02 23:34". At 23:31 that day, openrc was upgraded from 0.3.0-r1 to 0.6.0-r1. sysvinit was upgraded from 2.86-r10 to 2.87-r The openrc upgrade occured because I had noticed automounting of my flash drives had stopped working. Attempts to restart udev had failed because /etc/init.d/sysfs wasn't present and that generated a baselayout related complaint (because I installed baselayout-2 months ago). Aren't dependencies wonderful?
