Works fine ...

Looking at "ls -l /dev/vc*" I see timestamps of "2010-02-02 23:34".  At
23:31 that day, 

   openrc was upgraded from 0.3.0-r1 to 0.6.0-r1.
   sysvinit was upgraded from 2.86-r10 to 2.87-r

The openrc upgrade occured because I had noticed automounting of my
flash drives had stopped working.  Attempts to restart udev had
failed because /etc/init.d/sysfs wasn't present and that generated a
baselayout related complaint (because I installed baselayout-2 months
ago).  Aren't dependencies wonderful?
