[poky] Postinstall script problem

[matti kaasinen]

I got it working - at least enough. So, pkg_postinst_{PN} branch during
image creation seems to work
by using following statement for line append:

echo "new line" >> $D/${sysconfdir}/inittab

I did not find reason why "first time boot" insertion did not work.
However, as I told before, it works when running opkg install manually. I
don't need that "first time boot" operation for this as these two cases
work.
Cheers,
Matti
