In the stage3 tarball of the above given URL the symbolic links in /etc/runlevels/boot, /etc/runlevels/default and /etc/runlevels/nonetwork look weird. For example, in the /etc/runlevels/boot directory there is checkroot -> /tmp/stage1root//etc/init.d/checkroot These strange-looking links show up in a freshly installed Gentoo system. Even though they seem to work they bring some confusion: One would expect that doing `rc-update del checkroot boot' followed by `rc-update add checkroot boot' should put the system in the same state as before, but it doesn't since the symlink target is thereby changed to /etc/init.d/checkroot.
