Obviously I would be interested in anything that makes init work better
with my runlevel applets, but I have no interest in the internals of init,
so long as it works.  I'll compile a proper init wish list when I get back
to my computer.  The rest of this is of the top of my head.

Keeping in mind the issues I raised earlier with increasing the paths that
busybox supports, I would like either support for applets in other
directories (/etc/init.d for instance), or to have the default inittab use
/sbin/rcS instead of /etc/init.d/rcS.  Then I can remove one small script
from my boot floppy, freeing up a little bit of space.  Every byte counts
on a boot floppy.

The most obvious thing I wish for is support for runlevels.  This is as
simple as a default inittab that calls "/sbin/rc x" where x is the run
level.  And all the usual inittab runlevel support.  On the other hand, I
quite like the method I currently use to store the actual current runlevel
elsewhere with a default runlevel.  I could support both B-).
