I'm trying to figure out how to avoid getting messages such as the
following as boot scripts are running: 

  getpt: No such file or directory
  could not get pty for /etc/init.d/boot.d/S06boot.md

My goal is to force certain directories in the tree to be R/O instead of
R/W.  But I'm at a loss as to where "getpt" is looking such that it says
"No such file...".  I thought it was in /dev, but I'm *-certain-* /dev
is R/W.  

For the record, here's a cat of /proc/mounts:

  rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0               
  /dev/root / ext3 ro 0 0              
  proc /proc proc rw 0 0               
  sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0              
  devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0        
  tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0          
  /dev/dasdc1 /guestvol ext3 rw 0 0    
  /dev/dasdc1 /etc ext3 rw 0 0         
  /dev/dasdc1 /dev ext3 rw 0 0         
  /dev/dasdc1 /home ext3 rw 0 0        
  /dev/dasdc1 /root ext3 rw 0 0        
  /dev/dasdc1 /srv ext3 rw 0 0         
  /dev/dasdc1 /tmp ext3 rw 0 0         
  /dev/dasdc1 /opt/local ext3 rw 0 0   
  /dev/dasdc1 /usr/local ext3 rw 0 0   
  /dev/root /basevol/var ext3 ro 0 0   
  /dev/dasdc1 /var ext3 rw 0 0         
  /dev/root /var/lib/rpm ext3 ro 0 0   

In particular, /dev/dasdb1 (root or "/") is R/O (the minidisk is RR),
and /dev/dasdc1 which has all the needed R/W directories on it, are
"overlaid" onto the original directories on /dev/dasdb1 through the use
of "bind" mounts.
