Norman, You'd need to modify the /linuxrc script in the initrd image to pass the runlevel from the commandline on to the /sbin/init program.
Or, another method would be to pass an argument on the kernel command line, maybe something descriptive like 'FIXWIN=Y'. This would get passed as an environment variable to the rc.sysinit script, which could then be modified to look for $FIXWIN and see if it equals 'Y'. If it does, invoke your fix_windows script. That wouldn't require a change to inittab.
