How about passing "init=/root/bin/init2" or "init=/root/bin/init3" to the kernel. init2 will change /etc/inittab to have the default run level of 2 and then exec /sbin/init, init3 will do the same but for run level 3. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
