Hi, just to add my 2 cents. I would build a static compiled busybox binary with: init a shell reboot, shutdown swapon/swapoff mount, umount (start-stop-daemon) (getty, login) able to fully bring up a system. We could call it systemB like the other one but _B_etter. Then we implant it as blob into the kernel image so that we get rid also of initrds creating a PAC man like GNU/Linux/systemB/Frankenstein monster that eats all little sysDs.
