read-only filesystems

[Kevin D. Clark]

Hmm.  I think that I'm starting to get it working.

My solution:  

1:  comment out the part in the /etc/rc.sysinit script where / is
    remounted rw

2:  create a /var/dev directory

3:  copy the /dev/tty[0-9] files to /var/dev

4:  In /dev, make symlinks to the tty[0-9] files in /var/dev

5:  (hack) Remove the /etc/securetty file, since login refuses to
    let me login via ttys not explicitly contained underneath /dev.  I
    wonder if login hardcodes this or this is PAM-configurable?


There's still some other minor stuff to take care of, but I'm a lot
better off than I was before.
