<kilobug> init=/bin/sh hack doesn't work for GNU/Hurd ?
<antrik> kilobug: I don't think you can override init on Hurd. the init
server is actually involved in bootstrapping part of the system core
<antrik> at some point we discussed the possibility to reduce the Hurd init
server to *only* do that, and then pass on to standard sysv init... with
that it could actually work

<teythoon> we need to make the bootstrap code more robust and fix the error
handling there
<teythoon> for example, you can kill the exec server and the rootfs w/o
/hurd/init noticing it...
<braunr> yes
<teythoon> there are plans in init.c to take over the exception port of the
essential processes
<teythoon> that could help
