Hi All, I'm working my way through a peculiar install (the box is a briq from Total Impact http://www.totalimpact.com ). The box is booting over the network and I haven't been able to run dbootstrap. I've managed to activate and mount the swap partition and mount the root partition which lets me boot the box in single user mode. My problem is that I can't change to runlevel 2 or 3. When I turned debugging on in /etc/init.d/rc it would hang on #telinit 1 as well. Anyway I was trying to find out what dbootstrap does to the init scripts. I can't find the source to dbootstrap and I was wondering if someone could point me to where it lives so that I could take a look at it.
thanks, Andy P.S. in case anyone is wondering here's what happens on telinit 1 with debug turned on: stiq:~# telinit 1 INIT: Switching to runlevel: 1 INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal INIT: Get first argument. Set new runlevel to this argument. Is there an rc directory for this new runlevel?
