[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#483393: initscripts: Ensure that some essential mount points are present

Hi!

Please consider applying attached patch. In case your system gets
hosed in some way, so that an essential mount point does not exist any
more (/proc, /sys, etc.), it is guaranteed to not boot any more. The
patch mkdirs these again on shutdown, so that the next boot has a
better chance to succeed.

I know, it's only a bandaid, but it might help some people. :-)

Thanks,

Martin
