You don't mean there is naming magic associated with these? Otherwise I guess
you have changed something in udev? Or am I just being dense...?

Sorry, I was being either cryptic or stupid above. That was just a diffdump
of what was in my tree versus vanilla, including, I see, mostly bugs. But,
somewhere in that mess, there might be something that makes a difference,
i.e.:

Which might have enabled my vserver to boot by relaxing some dependency 
checking in the init system (as you can see, this patch apparently also 
introduces a bug by renaming RC_DEPEND_STRICT).
If you are referring generally to links between net.lo and net.XXX in 
the /etc/init.d directory, AFAIK that is the Official Gentoo Way (tm) to 
wedge network interfaces into the init system... so maybe as you originally 
guessed, you created it manually (while following a guide).
