first, kernel is loaded, and optionally a initrd/initramfs (we don't use that in LFS though) Once kernel is loaded, it will either mount the root= partition to /, or mount the initrd/initramfs to / after that, it will run /sbin/init /sbin/init parases /etc/inittab, /sbin/init (if using our /etc/inittab) runs /etc/rc.d/init.d/rcsysinit.d scripts in order, /sbin/init runs /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d scripts in order, [if initdefault is 3 in inittab] after that, on virtual terminals 1-6, it runs /sbin/agetty which provide the login prompt. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
