There are no other changes in this case though; that's the point of this discussion. You just emerge systemd and switch init= to the appropriate path in your boot loader configuration, , or better yet, add a separate entry to your boot loader configuration that boots you up with systemd so that you can recover if things do not work. If you use this symlink approach to actually switch your init to point to systemd, then you boot and things don't work, you are hosed. William
