Summary: linuxrc for mounting /var/log

Initial Comment:
With this linuxrc, you can add a startup parameter log_mnt. This parameter lets you put /var/log on disk or other storage instead of the ramdisk, so the information is preserved after a reboot

There are two possibilities how this parameter can be used:

log_mnt=/dev/somedevice (e.g. log_mnt=/dev/hda2)
puts your log files directly in the given partition by mounting it to /var/log before starting syslog

log_mnt=/dev/somedevice:/somedir (e.g. log_mnt=/dev/hda2:/logs)
puts the log files in the /logs directory on the given partition, by mounting the partition to /logmnt and replacing /var/log with a symbolic link to the directory on that partition

Note that the generation of the devices (root.dev.mk) had to be moved ahead of the initialisation of /var/log
