Thanks for pointing out the obvious silliness in the original patch. -b</blockquote></div> Is this really something that busybox init should be handling?  There is nothing saying you have to use the init out of busybox to start your system.  Init could simply be a shell script or C application that you write.  In that case, especially in a shell script, it would be trivial to look for a command line parameter specifying the inittab (or any other config file, there is no requirement that you have to use /etc/inittab either) to use for that boot. At the very least, I would think this should be a config item, and it should be wrapped in the existing inittab config item.
