I find that when I kill dbootstrap, invoked from init, then init fails to respawn another one. Most annoying. I'm planning on backing out all this tricky use of /etc/inittab from the root disk. It's causing serious delays. Please folks, do not re-enable it until you have *tested* that it works and respawns processes and that the tail in tty3 is actually functioning. -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
