Well, not exactly, there's a system call (pivot_root), that does the job. (busybox provides a command called pivot_root that makes use of it) The sencuence should be: cd /path/to/real/root pivot_root . put/old/root/somewhere exec chroot . /sbin/initng But there are other ways, like using linuxrc on the initrd, let it do it's job, and then exit. The boot process continues like if no initrd was there :), that's the best way, imho. > your initscript is dead and buried once initng starts.

The problem may be related to nash or to his initrd setup... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFr30n/mxY0+yOXJoRAkEOAJ95+nI8G0HjXhtIPG6YfDvER7aBjACfYbj+ PAQpEZahiHjWJQQlKVg/CS8= =2qiW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- _______________________________________________ Initng mailing list [email protected] http://jw.dyndns.org/mailman/listinfo/initng
