Sorry, I have not been making myself clear. The file init.c mentioned above
is not in the kernel. It is the source for the user space init program
which is in the elkscmd package which is distributed with the kernel
source. The file is in elkscmd/sysutils/init.c. The init prgram there needs
lots of work. The number of ttys should be defined in an inittab file rather
than as a compile time configuration. There should also be support for an
rc mechanism to initialise the system, but we are not looking for anything
nearly as complex as System V style init.
