Well, it doesn't. However, starting to run "sh /etc/rc" or some other random program occasionally makes something trigger something else and then /etc/rc is run (twice, if "sh /etc/rc" is used, of course). I've checked init and sh against binaries on a working system and re-compiled the bootstrap and re-disklabel'ed wd0, all to no avail. Any clues ? (The machine in question is a 486DX33/4MB/256k/207MB IDE.)
