initramfs problem: can't replace motd

Good suggestion cb,

I originally tried editing the romfs/etc/rc file and found that it was also replaced. I just assumed that the file was also overwritten by the same mysterious force that motd is.

Changing the rc file in the location you suggested worked and allowed me to change the output to motd.alt. So the work-around allowed me to accomplish using a different file.

Still, I really don't like the idea of motd being replaced/generated by a source file which I have no idea where it comes from. Now I question which other files I make changes to will be blown away by rebuilding the kernel.

If anyone knows where motd is generated/copied from please let me know so I can have some idea of what changes I can make and which I can't.

Cheers,

Todd
