Is the behavior (steps followed bi /sbin/init) is same in Fedora, Mandrak and Debian. Usually init reads inittab file and execute files from rcN.d (depending on runlevel N)
The overall mechanism how /sbin/init works is mostly the same across all Linux distributions. However, the way system startup scripts work - vary from one distro to another. The /etc/inittab file thus will look a bit different (the names and locations of startup scripts vary, runlevel schemes vary). Though the format /syntax of /etc/inittab remains the same.
You can walk-through the system startup scripts to get an idea about how the system startup scripts are called (rc.sysinit and rc on Redhat/Fedora/Mandrake. rcS and rc on debian. rc.S and rc.M on Slackware). These scripts must be located either in /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/ directories.
also the runlevels are different. On Debian you find a full functional working system at runlevel 2. that's not the case with dists like RH. For slack I'd heard it's based on the init structure of the BSD's.
