Where is the code in dbootstrap to redirect errors to ttyp3 ? It seems to me we should define our own "system" wrapper function, which redirects stderr, and maybe even logs to tty3, i.e., "running cmd 'foo'" or whatever. Of course, it should deal with serialconsole as well... Is this a good idea? Any volunteers? I'm not much of a C hacker... -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
