I can't start before /proc, /dev, and /sys are mounted because brltty uses things in those filesystems. Can you think of any possible reason that I would need to start before clock runs? If not, I'll just use your first suggestion. Besides starting later than expected, will anything break if this goes on a baselayout 1 system? Thanks much for your help.
