Yeah without init= it defaults to the distro /sbin/init, which fires up all
the initscripts accordingly. It's really slow.

I also did this a while back, it needed meddling in /etc/securetty and at
that time /etc/inittab, nowadays it seems you have to meddle with upstart
stuff somehow.
Or, cut out all the slow init stuff and run it by hand on your serial
console as shown in the previous mail.

Without that init thingy _nothing_ happened and my guruplug frooze after
freeing kernel memory. Maybe init fails? The bash I get from init=/bin/bash
only spits a error at when trying to init/telinit by hand.
Any ideas? Anybody flashed a custom kernel and got init working?
