[martin.kula at deltaes.cz]

Hi


See last 8 lines from init/main.c (in kernel source directories).
...........................
    if (execute_command)
        execve(execute_command,argv_init,envp_init);
    execve("/sbin/init",argv_init,envp_init);
    execve("/etc/init",argv_init,envp_init);
    execve("/bin/init",argv_init,envp_init);
    execve("/bin/sh",argv_init,envp_init);
    panic("No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.");
}
............................
Kernel trying executed above executable in order:
1. init=... parameter
2. /sbin/init
3. /etc/init
4. /bin/init
5. /bin/sh

if all failed it print the message 'No init found. Try pass......'
