[BusyBox] poweroff without init not possible?

Hi List,

for an embedded system (vdr) I don't need a real init.

I built a testing environiment in which '/bin/init' is only a shell 
script, which loads some drivers and starts the main application.

busybox 1.00-pre3 was configured without init, but with poweroff, halt 
and reboot. But the last three commands doesn't work without init.

Does someone has a solution?


BTW. This topic was discussed 2 month ago, but a posted patch is outdated.



best regards
Alfred
