Thank you. I'm trying to understand which one-time tasks must be performed on initialization, and how. I have no problem with current defaults, but
understanding, then most can be ignored. Note that booting with init=/bin/bash works just fine, so that's how I would start in order to understand the how things work (and then try doing whatever rc.sysinit does manually).
I already have a more precise idea of what I need (s6 for process 1, zombie reaping and service supervising, etc), but I lack more detailed knowledge about the one-time initialization tasks. Of course, personalized init scripts can be much simpler than the init scripts of a distribution, which must take into account all kinds of possible scenarios.
The commit that Matthew pointed to is the right one as far as I remember.
Yes, that's it. Thanks, everyone. J.
