Indeed, buildroot-s6 can be a useful example, as it will allow you to build
images for QEMU and Raspberry Pi of a Linux system where the s6 stack is used
as init system. Note that it is  based on Buildroot [1], and thus is a not
fully fledged GNU/Linux distribution.

Yes. This Buildroot package provides the start up scripts as well as some
basic services. Additional services (such as running rngd) can be found in the
"overlay" subdirectories of custom/board.

 Have you seen
 http://linsam.homelinux.com/extra/s6-altsim/jor1k/demos/s6-rc.html ?

 It's pretty nice. The root fs is a little different than what you'd
expect because there are some jor1k quirks to work around, but it's
close.

 I'm also currently working (for a customer) on a set of scripts that builds
a complete, working, s6-based image from scratch which can be used with qemu
as well as copied on a real drive. As soon as I can share it, I will.
