Hello,
The recent change to /linuxrc to make it exec /sbin/init breaks
debian-installer. I get a kernel panic, using the d-i netboot image
from 2003-05-19 that includes the changed /linuxrc, when trying to run
init. Per Matt Kraai, this is because busybox does not like to be
called as /sbin/init UNLESS it is as PID 1.
The following patch fixes linuxrc to allow the installer to boot.
Joe Nahmias, DD wannabe
