This thread is interesting, mostly because I think I'm the only poster
so far that thought to actually read the init script:

depend() {
if [ -e /lib/librc.so ]; then
# on baselayout-1 this causes
# a dependency loop with checkroot (before *)
after modules
before checkfs fsck
fi
}
start() {
if [ ! -e /lib/librc.so ]; then
eerror "The ${SVCNAME} init script is written for
baselayout-2"
eerror "Please do not use it with baselayout-1"
return 1
fi
start_addon dm
}
================
/lib/librc.so is not present under baselayout-1. So depend() evaluates
to a null statement and start() WILL exit without running any code.
All the OP needs do is remove device-mapper from his default runlevel.
