OK:

Run: 

rc-update -s

This will give you a list of what's run during boot.  eg:

/
/
               clock | boot
            coldplug |      default
         consolefont | boot
/
/
            hostname | boot
             hotplug |      default
             keymaps | boot
/
/
              xprint |
         xprint.init |

I assumed you would have built your own kernel being a Gentoo user. If
you're using a pre-built modular kernel, try:

modprobe ipaq

If you get an error message then you proabably haven't got the ipaq
module compiled.

If you are compiling your own kernel (2.6 kernel sources in this
example), during the configure process (I use make menuconfig), drill
down to the necessary item as follows:

Device Drivers-->
  USB Support-->
    USB Serial Converter Support-->
      USB PocketPC PDA Driver-->

Select Y to compile into the kernel or M to compile as a module.

Once you have set this and other settings to your heart's content, bake
your kernel in the normal way.

You've pretty much got it right here, John. However, if you aren't too
far away from Bramber in Sussex I could drop by and help out, or you
could bring your box over to my place if you prefer. I've got a portage
tree with all the necessary on my server which helps a lot.

Steve.
