Sorry, this is not the case. "single" is a parameter that is passed on to
/sbin/init, which reacts by running runlevel S then 1 instead of S then
initdefault. Depending on your init, it may be capable of entering
runlevel 1 without an inittab, but it's not guaranteed. "init=/bin/sh"
will run a shell _instead_ of init, which will work.
