[leaf-user] inittab error...

[david <df...@cs...>]

i've got 3.1 installed in a virtual environement where i boot from a cd and pull packages from the floppy. it mostly seems to work (cd boots, packages get loaded), but then i get:
...
LINUXRC: Loaded Packages
INIT: /etc/inittab[4]: missing id field
INIT: /etc/inittab[5]: missing id field
INIT: /etc/inittab[24]: missing id field
INIT: /etc/inittab[28]: missing id field
Enter runlevel:

at which point i type in 3 and up it comes. except that it hasn't pulled in the host name (which is the only thing i'm trying to change until it boots normally). the leaf.cfg looks like:
LRP="root config etc local modules openntpd iptables ulogd libssl libm libsnmp libcrpto liblzo shorwall netsnmpd dropbear openvpnz"
PKGPATH="/dev/fd0:msdos,/dev/cdrom:iso9660"
tmp_size=8M
syst_size=16M
log_size=48M

(lines wrap correctly)
i'm pretty sure its a simple setting i missed - but i'm gettin' tired...what am i missing?
