In addition to:

Apply a more consistent style to the echo statements in /etc/ scripts.
* Put quotes around each line
* Single quotes for lines with no variable interpolation
* Double quotes if there is
* Capitalize each word that begins a line
* Make echo -n 'Doing foo:' ... echo '.' more of a standard

Also:
* Use rm -f on /var/run/dev.db so if it's not there (devfs) it doesn't error
* Shorten the ldconfig messages so that the default fits on one line
* Test whether /var/msgs/bounds is a link before overwriting it
* Generally futz around with whitespace
