Actually, I spoke too soon. The change in perms did get it further in
the boot process, but it complained about the special device /dev/sda1
(for /boot) not existing. But it continued...
It seems to be stopped at "Caching service dependencies" now, but I will
check /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg and see what it tells me.
<time passes>
Looking at /var/log/messages, it appears that /dev/console and /dev/ttyX
were still not found, so /dev is not being correctly created, I don't
think.
It also says that the SCSI device was attached at /dev/sda, so the file
should have been there.
The last message in the log is from slapd, so it appears that the boot
process got quite a way through what it was supposed to. However, it
never did give me a login prompt, just stopped at "Caching service
dependencies". I think that's because /dev/ttyX couldn't be opened. So
the system basically booted all it's services and had / mounted because
grub did that (didn't need /dev/sda3). I wouldn't consider it a stable
system, though, w/o /dev being right.
Anyone know of a way to fix this issue?
