12 Works fine ...

14 Looking at "ls -l /dev/vc*" I see timestamps of "2010-02-02 23:34". At
15 23:31 that day,
16
17 openrc was upgraded from 0.3.0-r1 to 0.6.0-r1.
18 sysvinit was upgraded from 2.86-r10 to 2.87-r
19
20 The openrc upgrade occured because I had noticed automounting of my
21 flash drives had stopped working. Attempts to restart udev had
22 failed because /etc/init.d/sysfs wasn't present and that generated a
23 baselayout related complaint (because I installed baselayout-2 months
24 ago). Aren't dependencies wonderful?
