Using FAI to install a "root Server"

[Torsten Schlabach]

Quick question: My install kernel does not have an init= line. I think I 
had been some init= line somewhere on FAI today. Should the install 
kernel run /etc/init.d/rcS without a specific parameter? Should I try 
init=/etc/init.d/rcS? I am not sure if the kernel accepts a script 
rather than a binary as an init process.

Well, might be rather a kernel question, not an FAI question ...
