"exec /sbin/init" does not use inittab

[Alexander Kriegisch]

Hi!

I just learned that I am stupid the hard way:

> but explicitly calls it when done:
>> exec /sbin/init

Actually my code was
> exec /sbin/init >/dev/console 2>&1
but /dev/console was still a normal file on my NFS root, because
makedevs had not run yet. Thus, the output went to that file instead of
to my serial console. Doh! #-)

Forgive me, init does exactly what it is supposed to.
