8 init 9 (or telinit 9, yes, I have a runlevel 9, basic, just gpm as it
9 happens) isn't appropriate?

11 Of course, with gentoo's inittab, init then simply calls rc, but if rc is
12 called directly, how does init know to change its runlevel, as seen as if
13 it were passed on its commandline in top, etc? And what about additional
14 wait/once/respawn entries? How will init know to take care of them?
