If you're willing to have a stage1 and stage2, no, it isn't. I personally consider the existance of a separate stage1 and stage2 to be suboptimal, and think the ability to mix ordering of runonce and runlongs is a good thing that might be essential in some use cases. So on suckless-init plus daemontools-encore (or s6) plus LittKit, if I had any stage1 at all, it was just remounting / read-write, running LittKit lk_prepare script, and then running whatever daemontools-encore calls their svscanboot program. All the rest happens in what would normally be called stage 2. SteveT Steve Litt August 2015 featured book: Troubleshooting: Just the Facts http://www.troubleshooters.com/tjust
