Go into /etc/conf.d/rc and change RC_DEVICES to "static". Also if you |
| 8 |
are using virtio block devices (as I am) then you will need to manually |
| 9 |
create the /dev/vd* device nodes else the vm won't find the virtual |
| 10 |
drives. |

I'm not saying replace bash with dash. I'm saying change your login |
| 28 |
shell with dash (i.e. chsh). |

|

Moreover, dash is POSIX compliant so it should be able to be used with |
| 31 |
most shell scripts. The only reason you need bash around is that |
| 32 |
unfortunately baselayout-1 depends on some bash-specific features (like |
| 33 |
bash arrays), so you can't completely get rid of it. But for most stuff |
| 34 |
dash is fine. |
