sysinit stage staring at lineno #66 never gets executed !!!
An older version of /sbin/rc has "boot" instead of "sysinit" there.

I changed the "boot" part ot manually execute "/sbin/rc sysinit" so it works now.

I wonder why this happened to me at all. I don't reboot this box to often though

IT MAY HAVE HAPPENED SINCE SHORT TIME BEFORE THE SYSTEM WANTED A COLD REBOOT
FROM ME, HANGING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NVIDIA KERNEL MODULE TVON->TVOFF

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.power down
2.power up
3.weeeee

Actual Results:  
When the rc script comes into affect it wants to update /var/stage/init.d
without remounting / rw, hasn't mounted /proc ... etc. Nothing will work, and I
needed to carry an old monitor from the cellar to the server to get it running
again.

Luckily I had an old system on hda9 *smile*

Expected Results:  
It should have entered the sysinit stage at
si:sysinit:/sbin/rc boot

no information available since nothing was running (before I fixed it).

You did not update /etc/inittab after update of baselayout.  Attach your
/etc/inittab.
