G'day,

I've been running baselayout-2 for several months and it's been working
fine AFAICT.  Over the weekend I noticed that my USB thumb drive is no
longer automounting.  

This evening I ran "/etc/init.d/udev status" which reported:

 * status: stopped".  

Running "/etc/init.d/udev start" reported:

 * The udev init-script is written for baselayout-2!
 * Please do not use it with baselayout-1!.
 * ERROR: udev failed to start

The message occurs because /etc/init.d/udev checks for
/etc/init.d/sysfs, which is not present.  

Googling indicates that /etc/init.d/sysf comes from sys-apps/openrc.  I
have openrc-0.3.0-r1 installed (from long ago).  openrc-0.6.0-r1 is
available, though keyworded ~amd64.  Unmasking it and running "emerge
-p ..." shows that sysvinit is a blocker.

Is it safe to delete sysvinit and emerge openrc-0.6.0-r1?  Am I likely
to get myself into troubleif I do this?  If so, how much and how deep?

Regards,

David
