Ok, I tried the init=/bin/bb solution. It didn't work. Which is probably |
| 29 |
related to the fact that I am using an initramfs. If I use |
| 30 |
real_init=/bin/bb, things work howvever. Provided you remount your root |
| 31 |
filesystem with read/write enabled, this gives you the option to do any |
| 32 |
maintenance work and then reboot. |
| 33 |
I guess, if real_init + runlevel ever worked, it does not do any more. |
| 34 |
real_init takes a command as an argument, not the name of a runlevel. |
| 35 |
Best, |
