init must be started by the Linux kernel as the first userspace process to ensure it is asssigned pid 1 and gets special privileges for supervising other processes. To start another init from a running system, you need some kind of virtualization. I am using qemu/kvm here, managed by virt-manager and libvirtd. This has the advantage of running the LEDE userspace on top of the LEDE kernel instead of the host kernel, which may be missing some LEDE-specific features.
