You should be using the rc command tho init should work in theory.  
Example, "rc single" or "rc default" or whatever runlevel you want to 
switch to.  That is without the quotes tho.

I did notice earlier that when I switch to single, it is not unmounting 
some file systems for some reason.  When I try to switch back to 
default, rc sort of pukes.  If I unmount everything first, it switches 
cleanly.  I think openrc has some . . . weirdness still.

You can check out the rc man page for more info.  That help any?
