I've been through the migration guide.  In the section about udev it mentions 
/etc/runlevels/sysinit.  Is this something added by baselayout2/OpenRC?  I 
don't seem to have this in my runlevels:

$ ls -l /etc/runlevels/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 18 20:39 boot
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun  8  2010 default
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21  2010 nonetwork
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21  2010 single
