I've never used Fedora. There's nothing interactive about it. When you
init=/bin/sh, you get sh running instead of init. The only drive
mounted is the / and its ro. So you cd to /etc/rcS.d, do an ls and
write down all the file names so you can tick them off as you run them.
#less README
read it..
Then, one at a time, type e.g.:
#./S01glibc.sh start
#./S02hostname.sh start
You're sort-of single-stepping the init process to track down a problem.
Once you have, try to fix it and then shutdown. Since init normally
does this, I wouldn't want to try to bring the system all the way up in
this manner.
