Check in the /etc/rc file to ensure that the following lines appear
after the /etc/netstart line

echo -n 'starting system logger'
rm -f /dev/log
syslogd

Haven't looked into this much, but seems like these lines
have ventured from their place in 2.0R's version of
/etc/rc. syslogd seems to want the network in place first.
Worked for me.

This seems to work, Thanks. However, now I receive the messages:
"syslogd: /var/run/utmp: No such file or directory "   and
"last message repeated 9 times"
What the hell is going on? /var/run/utmp file do exists.
Any ideas?
