It looks like fedora has a similar patch for 8.10. That patch applies
with one hunk offset by 1 line.

Heads up.
Following the util-linux mailing list, I see that they want to change
/etc/mtab to a symlink to /proc/mounts. The outstanding issues are
mount.nfs and pam_mount.
This is also to support systemd.

I have added the /run top level directory to the -dev book and updated
the bootscripts to use it. It seems to work pretty well, at least for a
base LFS system. There are no hidden directories or files in /dev.

You need to change the version/release date in general.ent and

I've been working on bootscripts. Basically, I'm rewriting them to get
a better understanding. I may end up throwing them out completely but I
want to discuss the issue of error handling.
There are three bootscript files that use the
read ENTER
construct: checkfs, udev, and functions.

I've done a partial rewrite of the bootscripts and want to put them out
for comment.
What I have done:
1. Moved the functions file to /lib/boot/. For now, the Makefile also
puts a copy of functions in init.d (it probably should be a symlink) for
backward compatibility.
2. Moved some boot f

contrib section because I think it has mostly been
incorporated into the new scripts. For LSB, we need to add init-tools
to BLFS.

No, we don't have anything at RL2. At least not now. The BLFS Makefile
has:
ln -sf ../init.d/alsa ${EXTDIR}/rc.d/rc0.d/K35alsa
ln -sf ../init.d

I have made a very large, invasive change to LFS. All the bootscripts
have been rewritten.
From the change log:
[bdubbs] - Rewrite bootscripts and Chaper 7.
o Make scripts compatible with initd format (see BLFS).
o Move functions and services to /lib/boot.
o Log boot messages to /run/var/bootl
