I just discovered. No I don't. Nor do I have /run/lock. I looked in the
book Sections 6.5 and 6.6 to see where and how I missed these. I didn't
see their creation in either section. Would you please tell me where in
the book they get created? I've got to see if I missed anything else.
When I create them, just to double check, make sure the permissions are
0755?

That's great info. Thanks. Referencing the paragraph above, the
directories /run/{var,lock} get created the first time the system boots?
I do have /run/shm. It got created in Section 6.2.
Since I'm operating in chroot, I need to mount /run. Again, to double
check, is the following command the one to use?
<mount -v -t tmpfs tmpfs /run>
If the bootscripts are exiting, then it's no wonder that my efforts are
failing. I consider this one of the "simple things" that I miss. My
knowledge of the bootscripts is slowly coming back. I knew them well six
years ago. :)
Before I forget. Once I get the directory thing straightened out, should
I, as root, touch /run/var/bootlog?
Thanks, Bruce,
Dan
