tinit on rtp - finally works!

All,

I’ve finally been able to get tinit to work on an rtp target:

  1. Make sure you have /etc/config/ttys in your target. Mine contains a
    single entry:
    /ser1 “/bin/login” qansi-m on

  2. in the build file add:

[+session] PATH=/proc/boot:/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/proc/boot tinit -D
/dev/null

  1. make sure you include login/logout in your build

Note that the -D option is not documented, nor is /etc/config/ttys. I have
no idea what the -D option does. Comments, anyone?

The -D filename is the debug output. Without having this
the behaviour of the program is to immediately background
itself and turn into a daemon.

I also found out that I need to start it without the [+session] construct,
otherwise, I’d lose the Ctrl-C handling…
