It seems there is a misunderstanding. bootchart is a shell script that is
started as init (kernel prompt init=/sbin/bootchart), which then forks
the real init to start the real boot process. While init does its work
bootchart collects some data about cpu load and hard disk usage, and
(now) writes them to /run. After the boot process has ended, bootchart
packs the data, stores them in a file in the real filesystem and quits.
After the boot process there might be processes they rely on a mounted
/run, because bootchart can't unmount it. But we need it before init is
started, becaus we want to watch init what it does.
Regards, Jörg.
