ooo, nasty :) sounds like the kernel need a bit more time for your specific
USB device to enumerate.
add rootdelay=<delay> where <delay> is a time to delay in seconds to the
"Kernel Flag" string param in
com.apple.Boot.plist. This will get passed to the linux kernel at boot time.
"I don't know, precisely, how to fix the init process 'cause I don't know
the current means by when devices are auto created in /dev. "
That would be the busybox mdev which is the replacement for the normal udev.
But that's not the real
problem. The real problem is the kernel is booting, the USB device driver gets
loaded but your USB device is
slow to enumerate and thus gets missed in /dev creation. Could be an mdev
issue, I'd have to look into it.
BYW, this is the first time anyone has bothered to try to understand the
problem. I've never seen it with any of
my USB devices :) As always, patches are welcome. And I am an old fossil myself
:)

I'm not sure it's time ... when key is pulled and reinserted, the device files
are
created instantaneously. the 10 second wait in rcS does squat from what I can
tell....

never said anything about changing the 10 second wait in rcS :)

Ok, I was getting the problem of patchstick.sh not being found and landed here.
I see all my devs mounted by
the time telneted in, so I just fsck-ed, mounted, and ran the script. Seems to
work fine. Not sure why it could
not find the script the first time around. I did have to plug in ethernet to
telnet. I guess the kernel that gets
loaded does not do wireless?

listings from 1975...]

Wireless drivers are property of Apple which means you've got distribution
issues
etc. Not to mention there is no open for a Linux version
