Hi,

There are circumstances in which it would be great to allow the selection of
different inittab file at boot time. This patch adds the ability to select
the inittab file via a command line option (bb_inittab).

One of the things that I don't like about this patch is the need to mount
/proc on systems in which it isn't mounted.  The mount is cleaned up and
handled carefully; I just don't like having to do it.  Having said that,
this patch has proven to be quite useful.
