Ah, hacking init! Since init is the only program known to the kernel,
when you mung it, all kernels will be in the same trap.
The way I saw around it was to make a /tiniunix that invoked not /etc/init
but /etc/tini (a backwards init). You have to simply reorder the `init'
in the kernel's icode for that. Even if u don't have source for the kernel,
you can run it thru a filter (or edit it with an editor that doesn't
munge non-printables and nulls).
