     A few releases ago, intoducing a new init script in /etc/init.d, 
and the corresponding links in rc?.d has become a little more 
complicated, because the comments at the head of the script now 
consitute a meta-language describing the interdependencies of these 
scripts. AFAIR, after copying the script in /etc/init.d, the admin 
should invoke update-rc.d in some way to do the job. I didn't experiment 
with this and rather now put my own bricolage in rc.local, which is of 
course not a valid suggestion for vdev.


     vdev should be invoked with /dev as argument (plus possible 
options) if you want it to create device files on /dev.


     Hope this helps.
