I did not test this either, but per http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/init/main.c#L906 and http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/init/main.c#L952 the kernel just calls do_execve() on whatever init= parameter it's given or else a short list of defaults (including "/sbin/init"), so symlinks _should_ work normally. zw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
