As I said, the "patch" was
ln -sf /rom/etc/init./boot /etc/init.d/boot

The flash is uptodate, the USB isn't. Both rootfs have it.

I think the first is started in /etc/preinit.

Starting it twice is fairly normal: once in the "initramfs" (aka
"miniroot" in Irix parlance) before the real rootfs is mounted, and once
after the real rootfs is mounted.
The "killall hotplug2" was moved a little while ago from one place to
another, so if the two rootfs aren't in sync, the first hotplug2 doesn't
get killed.

Yes.

Try a diff, and you'll probably get something very similar to your above
suggested patch.
