Hey Brian:
This seems to have broken SystemImager - now when I boot a node with the resulting initrd.img, I get the following error message: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 644 freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
I mounted initrd.img on the loopback and sure enough "console" and "null" weren't there.

Yes, the problem is that linux at initial bootup expects to find at least /dev/console and /dev/null before spawning the "init" process, so it is not possible to create these devices in the rcS script (see http://lxr.linux.no/source/init/main.c). But, anyway, it seems Brian has already performed the rollback...

Regards,
-Andrea
