How about adding 'init=/bin/bb' to kernel line.
I find that softlevel=single works for me
Hi,
Thanks for both replies.
The thing that bugs me about the softlevel option is that the computer
apparently enters into the default runlevel first before switching to
single. If I do not want to have any of the services running, why would
I have to start and stop them all (which might take quite a bit of time
considering a computer that is set up for networking via dhcp, but
booting up in an environment where there is no network connection.
Is the real_init option on the kernel line no longer working?
I guess I'll go with the busybox solution.
Best,
Peter
