dbootstrap not respawned when killed



When dbootstrap is killed (manually or automatically after a segfault or the
like), the first console is frozen.
It is because dbootstrap is spawn from /etc/init.d/rcS and this script is only
run once at boot time.
The solution is not to rerun rcS because it contains other commands but maybe
to support some kind of inittab or to hardcode dbootstrap as the first console
program in init like it was in slink.
I think we need dbootstrap to be respawn automatically after a kill for some
kind of robustness, especially on serial console where there is no shell
console to switch to to rerun dbootstrap by hand (it this case the system is
frozen and I have to reboot it wildly).

Erik, what do you think about this?
