Of course you are right. I have the appropriate lines in inittab. Probably I
picked them up by re-using a configdb.lrp from a serial version of Leaf. I
appreciate the tip about re-using a configdb.lrp from a serial Geode version, I
may try that if I get nervous about re-using old configdb.lrp.

I am using a SanDisk Cruzer Fit. Works with Bering 5.0.4 but not 5.1.
Here is the tail end of the boot messages with 5.1 (doesn't work)

Here is the same portion of the boot messages from 5.0.4 that works:
>>START
LINUXRC: Looking for leaf.cfg...
LINUXRC: Mounting /dev/sda1 on /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt as vfat
LINUXRC: Sourcing leaf.cfg from /dev/sda1

//END
So you see it does look like the USB drive doesn't get mounted.
Thanks again.
