To get the user-land going, when the kernel has finished
initialization, it will create a process with ``pid == 1
'' and execute
a program on the rootfilesystem, this program is normally
``/sbin/init
''.
You can substitute any program for /sbin/init, as long as you keep in mind that:
there is no stdin/out/err unless you open it yourself, if you exit,
the machine panics, signal handling is special for ``pid ==
1
''.
An example of this is the ``/stand/sysinstall
''
program on the installation floppy.
