Most of these (if not all) C files should come with manpages, which at
least should give you an idea. I suppose if you want a minimal
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).

The commit that Matthew pointed to is the right one as far as I remember.
