I spoke too quickly. qpkg -f returns nothing for /etc/init.d/serial:

dragonfly ~ # ls -al /etc/init.d/serial
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1104 Mar 11 09:57 /etc/init.d/serial
dragonfly ~ # qpkg -f /etc/init.d/serial
dragonfly ~ #

and qpkg -l doesn't show 'serial' as being installed by baselayout:

dragonfly ~ # qpkg -l sys-apps/baselayout | grep serial
dragonfly ~ #

I use the ~x86 version of baselayout. You are probably not I suspect?

Thanks,
Mark
