Am I reading /var/lib/lrpkg/root.dev.mk correctly? AFAICT everything it does sends any output to /dev/null (except possibly the cd-rom stuff right at the end).
Assuming that it is meant to work silently (ie no logging), then there shouldn't be a problem with swapping the code in /linuxrc so that /var/log gets mounted *after* devices are created? I ask because: Wanting to log to harddisk, I had to do the above. It worked nice (thread on leaf-user ends with: "Harddisk: device deceased") apart form the fact that the disk died. I subsequently got a personal request to explain how I did it. This all made me think that it would be nice to 'formalize' the functionality. So I concocted some code to parse a "log_dev=/dev/hdXn:fstype" -statement in /proc/cmdline. Obviously an actual mount can't take place before the device to mount is created. The code seems to do what it's supposed to, but before I submit it here for review, it seemed like a good idea to get it straight whether or not there would be a problem with mounting /var/log after root.dev.mk runs.
