1 don't have a clue what you mean by this statement
2 It is only applicable if you pass cdroot to your kernel.
3 If you're using a genkernel compiled kernel, that will
4 cause your system to not boot unless you're booting off a
5 cd. And for advanced users who actually build their own
6 kernel, I think they'd be brighter than to try to do autologin
7 stuff by passing cdroot to the kernel.

9 Sorry, linux is not idiot-proof. This is a NON-ISSUE.
