Specifically "9.2.2 Boot-time hooks". Please note that live-config edits
/etc/inittab so you may not get the intended results if you try to do a
chroot local hook instead, as the old post you dug up above suggests
(and herein lies the danger of doing deep searches of the list archives
to try to figure stuff out -- over successive generations the software
has changed a lot!)
