So what's the point in having it optional, if sysvinit would just mess around with it.
You'd only hit this, if you start your userland with an foreign kernel.

CONFIG_CMDLINE=/sbin/whatever works, i use it for root=, crypt_dev, ... CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE should stay off to respect bootloader "cmdline".
