9 I'm not sure what you mean here. Openrc git will mount a tmpfs on /run
10 if it exists and create a lock directory inside the tmpfs.

12 To make it work, I just need a new release of baselayout to make the
13 /run directory. Then, I also need to figure out where in the boot
14 process to make the symbolic links from /var/lock to /run/lock and from
15 /var/run to /run.
16 what else am I missing?
