Hi MadMartigan,
> I specify an initfile to the kernel command string like init=/etc/init2.rc
This tells the kernel that the init process is the script /etc/init2.rc. When the script exits,
or completes its execution, the init process goes away.
The init parameter is used to specify the application that is used as the initial process when you want
something
other than /sbin/init to be used as the initial process. Or in the case of the Nios-II
uClinux kernel, something other than one of the following:
/sbin/init
/etc/init
/bin/init
/bin/sh
The kernel will attempt to run the above in the order listed. If you want the
init process to run
a script at startup, add /etc/rc to your filesystem.
