No, but you can add  yet _another_ init to do this. Try init-cdev (avail
from sumex in cdev); you can activate it at startup (hold space) and shut
off whatever you want.

If you are having init-conflicts you might want to use init-tracker to get a
report on what they are patching; it's also at sumex.
