0.53.14 problems

[Dean Brown]

Adi,
	It seems that 0.53.14 is broken!! :^(

Taking a configuration that worked correctly under 0.53.10, and updating
to 0.53.14 is causing bootup problems. Symptoms are as follows:

The error spew is:
----begin----
/etc/rc.sysinit: cannot create /var/run/utmp: directory nonexistent
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3

modprobe: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file

(the above line is repeated about 16 times)

INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
----end----

The problem is in the 'load filesystem' portion of pwl. If I Extract a
filesystem using the 0.53.14 scripts and then load them onto the device
with the 0.53.10 versions, the errors don't occur. Loading with the
0.53.14 scripts causes the errors regardless of how the extracted system
was created.
