New Revision: 299419
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/299419

Log:
  When rerooting, take the init(8) path from argv[0] instead of fetching
  it via kern.proc.pathname sysctl(2).  In some cases - booting from NFS
  or rerooting after replacing the init binary with a new one - the sysctl
  would fail.  In other cases - after upgrading, which moves the old init
  to /sbin/init.bak - it would return /sbin/init.bak, which is the actual
  path of the running init, instead of /sbin/init.
