I do have devfsd installed, but I forgot to comment out the
'append="devfs=nomount"', could that be the culprit?  ;)  Perhaps we
should have the init.d spell check that as well (/etc/lilo.conf /and/
/boot/grub/menu.lst, the former will require running 'lilo' if it's
modified, the latter requires no such thing).
