Oh look, so can I!
I also see a bunch of other errors:
can't open(/etc/ioctl.save, O_WRONLY): Permission denied.
can't open /dev/console.
cannot execute "/etc/rc".
...which makes sense, because:
dk AT espanola /artimi/arch/doc> ls -la /etc/rc /etc/ioctl.save
-rw------- 1 dk Domain Users 44 Nov 25 17:38 /etc/ioctl.save
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 65 Nov 25 17:49 /etc/rc
dk AT espanola /artimi/arch/doc>
I have no idea what ioctl.save is, but /etc/rc should definitely have the
'x' bit set. I fixed both these problems with "chmod u+x /etc/rc" and "chown
SYSTEM /etc/ioctl.save"; despite the fact that I told init-config to overwrite
both these files, it didn't set the perms, so that could almost certainly be
considered a bug in init-config.
cheers,
