1) From the Bootdisk-HOWTO

Once the root filesystem is loaded and mounted, you see a message like:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
At this point the system finds the init program on the root filesystem (in
/bin or /sbin)and executes it. init reads its configuration file
/etc/inittab, looks for a line designated sysinit, and executes the named
script . The sysinit script is usually something like /etc/rc or
/etc/init.d/boot (/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit on RH). This script is a set of
shell commands that set up basic system services

2) If u do not need multiuser mode (which IMHO u might not, it being an
embedded system) set the default init to 1 (On RH). U have to login if u
need the multiuser mode. However u can arrange to login directly into a
non root user mode using default init 1. U'll have to setup the services
which u want in the single user mode if u do this.
