Is it /sbin/init? I can't seem to find any reference of that in any man pages. Essentially, I'm trying to short-circuit this boot process to execute a run level of my choosing, and not be forced to use 4.
it's probably the kernel itself calling the value defined in /proc/cmdline
For example when I go to single user mode I often specify init=/bin/bash on the command line, which I'd expect would take /sbin/init completely out of the loop.
