Quite true :-) However 'rm' is one of the few options which de diskless override does not directly support (except for overriding it with an empty 0 byte file; which is what I do now). The alternative is setting 13 variables 'NO' or null. Which all is a wee bit over the top; as very early in the script things are hardcoded to just the syscon; without checking for presense. kbddev=/dev/ttyv0 viddev=/dev/ttyv0 one could tie it to the pressense of a syscon or a single syscon indicating variable: if [ ! -e ${viddev} ]; then exit 0 fi or a $syscon_enable=YES; the first ties nicely into the new devfs framework of course.
