Ah, hacking init!  Since init is the only program known to the kernel,
when you mung it, all kernels will be in the same trap.

The way I saw around it was to make a /tiniunix that invoked not /etc/init
but /etc/tini (a backwards init).  You have to simply reorder the `init'
in the kernel's icode for that.  Even if u don't have source for the kernel,
you can run it thru a filter (or edit it with an editor that doesn't
munge non-printables and nulls).
