Well, sorry to be a nit-picker, but if you will refer to the TeachText doc
file that comes with Finder Sounds, you will find the following paragraph:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finder Sounds is not strictly an INIT.  It is a code resource that the Finder
actually merges into itself at startup time.  Finder Sounds does have a small 
INIT that will display its icon during the boot process, but that is all that 
the INIT in Finder Sounds will do.  Due to the unique nature of the code 
resource in Finder Sounds, you cannot turn Finder Sounds off with INIT pickers 
such as INIT/CDEV.  If you don't want Finder Sounds to load, drag it out of 
your system folder.  You can also use the Master On/Off button in the control 
panel, turn your volume down to zero, or use the caps lock key to make Finder 
Sounds be quiet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, yes, you're right; INIT/cdev will not turn Finder Sounds off.  So what 
else is new?
