I did just try with 1 as a kernel command line option and notices
something rather strange. init acknowledges the 1 flags and says
INIT: going to single user mode (or something to that end)
the on the next line it continues
INIT: booting to runlevel 5 (again not exact string, but something similar)
I'm guessing the new init has some sort of problem? Or /etc/rc.d/rc is
perhaps not handling something properly?
I can't seem to recall exactly where, what is supposed to happen.
