Oh - oh ...

For everybody that has this problem, try the following:
o Boot with the "-b" option on the LILO command line
o At the shell prompt, enter "mount -n -o remount,rw /"
o edit /etc/inittab
** Write down how the entry with /etc/init.d/boot looks now, I
really would like to know that!
o change the "/etc/init.d/boot" to "/etc/init.d/rcS" so that it looks like
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
o Save and exit
o Type "mount -n -o remount,ro /"
o Enter "reboot -f"
Now the system should boot again.
I'll upload a fixed sysvinit tommorow morning. In the mean time, do NOT
install sysvinit-2.72 !
PS: please read the line with `**' again and mail me !
Mike.
