I just deleted several paragraphs of fatherly advice from this reply after |
| 14 |
I noticed /lib/rc/init.d/started/devfs on my machine :-/ |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I soon discovered that /etc/init.d/devfs belongs to the sys-apps/openrc |
| 17 |
package, which is not obsolete the way "devfs" is obsolete. |

This is what I have: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
#eselect rc list sysinit |
| 22 |
Init scripts to be started by runlevel sysinit |
| 23 |
devfs |
| 24 |
dmesg |
| 25 |
udev |
| 26 |
|
