Apart from Kurt's comment:
Won't this cause errors to be omitted from the console? I'd much rather implement a full boot logging using bootlogd, but last time I tried, it was broken. Redirecting stderr away from the normal output seems unhelpful, and unecessary.
The intent was to redirect the errors to be redirected to tty9 -- when I was debugging these scripts, syntax errors kept getting nuked by the gettys and X starting up, so putting them on a tty that was not running a getty seemed like the easiest solution.
I'd much rather omit this in favor of a patch that adds proper boot logging, which is a feature we really need.
No problem. The bashification-redux branch @ git://fnordovax.org/~victor/arch-initscripts has this as the last patch to make it easy to drop. -- Victor Lowther LPIC2 UCP RHCE
