Overview

init is u-root's standard userspace init process.

init is intended to be the first process run by the kernel when it boots up. init does some basic initialization (mount file systems, turn on loopback) and then tries to execute, in order, /inito, a uinit (either in /bin, /bbin, or /ubin), and then a shell (/bin/defaultsh and /bin/sh).
