/etc/init.d/rcS (inside the nfsroot) is a link to /sbin/rcS_fai

Hi Martin,
init is called from the kernel which starts with this entry from /etc/inittab:
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
But this is a symlinkk to the main fai script
./etc/init.d/rcS -> ../../sbin/rcS_fai

You SHOULD do it using a hook! Even hooks can be soucred if you need
that function. If you implement an extension using hooks, it's easier
for verybody to test it and easier for me to include it into fai.
