The problem is that most people have old kernels and news kernels and
might or might not use devfs. So changing the inittab will break
kernels without devfs.

I want to be able to put a 2.2.x kernel onto the rescue disk and have
it work, or a 2.4.0 without devfs or one with.

So instead of having 2 different inittabs to choose from I changed
init.c to cope with it. I also changed getty to cope with it (diff is
send to maintainer and upstream) for after installation. 

May the Source be with you.
