[Voyage-linux] quagga, bgpd, zebra problems

[Punky Tse]

Brian,

I think this is the problem that quagga requries /var/run/quagga.  I noticed that it runs find after 
a fresh installation, but after a reboot I encountered the same error.  After trace down the 
problem, I found that the /var/run/quagga disappeared after reboot, as /var/run is in the ramdisk. 
I think the workaround would be copy /var/run/quagga and /var/log/quagga to /ro/var/run and 
/ro/var/log just after "apt-get install quagga".

	cp -rp /var/run/quagga /ro/var/run
	cp -rp /var/log/quagga /ro/var/log
