[meta-xilinx] qemuzynq fails to boot

[Simon Vincent]

I have just done a few more builds and can confirm that sysvinit does 
work with the default options.
The problem seems to be I was building sysvinit with mtdev. 
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager = "mtdev"
sysvinit with udev works
sysvinit with mtdev fails

Regards

Simon
