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.
