Hi,
run-init seems to mount the new root, rm files in the old root,
mount, chroot, open the console, exec. any reason we can't do
that in shell script commands?

ok, but still: is it ok for the kernel to die?
after all pivot_root works fine, unless /initrd is unmounted.
what exactly is the kernel internal that makes pivot_root special?
Regards, Andreas
